Description manuel.montezelo 2013-10-29 16:37:15 UTC 
Hi,

NOTE: This applies to all SDL modules and main libraries, only reporting to SDL_net at the moment.

With these versions of the tools:
automake 1.14
autoconf 2.69

I can see the following warnings (separated with empty lines to try to make them more clear), which will make compilations fail with autoconf 2.70 and automake 2.0 in the future [1].  So no hurry, but it will be good to migrate in the next releases.

Hope that helps.

  The 1.14 release also introduces new (non-fatal) runtime warnings to
  simplify the transition to Automake 2.0.  You are free to ignore such
  warnings for now, but should address them before the transition to
  Automake 2.0 (whose ETA is about one year from now, maybe more, so no
  need to hurry yet).

  * WARNING: Future backward-incompatibilities!

  - Automake 2.0 will require Autoconf 2.70 or later (which is still
    unreleased at the moment of writing, but is planned to be released
    before Automake 2.0 is).

  - Automake 2.0 will drop support for the long-deprecated 'configure.in'
    name for the Autoconf input file.  You are advised to start using the
    recommended name 'configure.ac' instead, ASAP.
