KNOWN PROBLEMS (these ones should not happen anymore)
If you happen to have autoconf installed, but a version older than 2.12
you will get into trouble. Then you can still build curl by issuing these
commands (note that this requires curl to be built staticly): (from Ralph
Beckmann)
./configure [...]
cd lib; make; cd ..
cd src; make; cd ..
cp src/curl elsewhere/bin/
As suggested by David West, you can make a faked version of autoconf and
autoheader:
----start of autoconf----
#!/bin/bash
#fake autoconf for building curl
if [ "$1" = "--version" ] then
echo "Autoconf version 2.13"
fi
----end of autoconf----
Then make autoheader a symbolic link to the same script and make sure
they're executable and set to appear in the path *BEFORE* the actual (but
obsolete) autoconf and autoheader scripts.
