Hi,
I try (for the first time) to compile mjpegtools form the cvs sources since the gentoo version lacks some features.
I've run autogen and I've done update world recently. The following error I get at the end of .configure

[...]
checking for sys/soundcard.h... yes
checking size of int... 4
checking size of long... 4
checking size of long long... 8
checking for getopt_long... yes
checking return type of signal handlers... void
checking whether glibc supports 64-bit file offsets... yes
checking for alpha architecture... no
checking for linux/videodev.h... yes
./configure: line 6451: syntax error near unexpected token `1.2.0'
./configure: line 6451: `AM_PATH_GLIB(1.2.0)'

What's the problem here?

Thanks
Mike

I don't know what the problem is but try commenting out that line in .configure and see if it keeps going (or more lines if necessary).

That looks like automake/autoconf versioning problems.

automake 1.7.5
autoconf 2.13 (also tried 2.57)

Is this OK?

Running the separate commands (aclocal, autoheader, automake, autoconf) showed that an old version of aclocal-1.4 was used and not aclocal-1.7. After I set alias aclocal=aclocal-1.7 it compiled well.

Is there a reason why an old version of aclocal is called?
