older svn version 4895 works well.
Comment 1 Sam Lantinga 2009-10-09 23:38:05 UTC
autogen.sh hasn't changed in a long time, I bet if you go back to the older version you'll get the same message about not being able to find autoconf.

Where do you have autoconf installed?
Comment 2 Andrey 2009-10-10 00:40:52 UTC
configure.in recently been changed.

I checked on Redhat EL5.3, used:
autoconf-2.59-12
automake-1.9.6-2.1

The same error.
Comment 3 Sam Lantinga 2009-10-10 00:53:21 UTC
Can you go back to the older svn version and run autogen.sh and show me what it says?

Thanks!

Now you are ready to run ./configure

Wacky, I'm getting the same error with SDL 1.2 from subversion on FreeBSD 6.2.
Comment 6 Sam Lantinga 2009-10-10 02:58:52 UTC
This is fixed in subversion, thanks!
