build: call AC_BUILD_AUX_DIR before anything else
sssd's configure.ac (abridged) contains these lines:
AC_INIT([sssd], ...)
m4_ifdef([AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS],
[AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS], [AC_GNU_SOURCE])
AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([build])
When turned into configure, this will be emitted:
ac_aux_dir=
for ac_dir in build "$srcdir"/build; do
if test -f "$ac_dir/install-sh"; then
ac_aux_dir=$ac_dir
ac_install_sh="$ac_aux_dir/install-sh -c"
break
However, with automake commit v1.14.1-36-g7bc5927, this will be emitted
instead:
ac_aux_dir=
for ac_dir in "$srcdir" "$srcdir/.." "$srcdir/../.."; do
if test -f "$ac_dir/install-sh"; then
ac_aux_dir=$ac_dir
ac_install_sh="$ac_aux_dir/install-sh -c"
break
As configure no longer looks into build/ for install-sh, running
./configure fails:
configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh,
or shtool in "." "./.." "./../.."
I think the error is that someone placed AC_BUILD_AUX_DIR
too late. Move it upwards.
