Subject: Applying patches From: Thomas Roessler <roessler@does-not-exist.org> Date: Thu, 8 Oct 1998 14:32:53 +0200 When applying patches to mutt, you may encounter strange error messages spit out by programs like aclocal, autoconf, automake. This will happen if your machine has a partial build environment (see devel-notes.txt for a description of what's needed for mutt development): Mutt has detected changes to some of the "meta source files" like configure.in and tries to rebuild other files such as aclocal.m4 or Makefile.in based on these changes; this will fail if your build environment is not complete. If you encounter this kind of problem, touching the following files after applying patches may help: Makefile.in config.h.in configure aclocal.m4 After doing so, simply type "make"; the dependencies should take care of the necessary other re-building (this may quite well include a re-running of ./configure). $Id$
