Hi Sebastian, 

which automake version are you using? 

As far as i can tell AM_PROG_AS should be available since automake 1.5, 
it definetly works with current 1.9 versions

[11 Jan 2007 8:18] Sebastian Nohn

$ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.4-p6

Seems to be my fault however, how to specify other automake versions?

$ export AUTOMAKE=/usr/bin/automake-1.9

does not work

# apt-get remove automake1.4 make /usr/bin/automake be automake 1.9 => compile works.

Feature request: make $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOMAKE_PREFIX, $AUTOMAKE_SUFFIX configurable as it is e.g. in 

ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.2.1.tar.bz2/libgcrypt-1.2.1/autogen.sh

see 

http://www.google.com/codesearch?hl=en&q=+AUTOMAKE+show:dGhJ33nntV4:muynO64ibbs:NuKrA5LI__...

for highlighted code (assuming this is a permanent link ...)

This request is moot in later versions of MySQL Server, where autotools are
no longer employed.
