| Notes on enabling maintainer mode |
| Note that if you configure with --enable-maintainer-mode, you will need |
| special versions of automake, autoconf, libtool and gettext. You will |
| find the sources for these in the respective upstream directories: |
| ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf |
| ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake |
| ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool |
| ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext |
| The required versions of the tools for this tree are |
| Note - "make distclean" does not work with maintainer mode enabled. |
| The Makefiles in the some of the po/ subdirectories depend upon the |
| Makefiles in their parent directories, and distclean will delete the |
| Makefiles in the parent directories before running the Makefiles in |
| the child directories. There is no easy way around this (short of |
| changing the automake macros) as these dependencies need to exist in |
| order to correctly build the NLS files. |
