2                Notes on enabling maintainer mode
3
4Note that if you configure with --enable-maintainer-mode, you will need
5special versions of automake, autoconf, libtool and gettext. You will
6find the sources for these in the respective upstream directories:
7
8  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf
9  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake
10  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool
11  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext
12
13The required versions of the tools for this tree are
14  autoconf 2.64
15  automake 1.11
16  libtool 2.2.6
17  gettext 0.14.5

19Note - "make distclean" does not work with maintainer mode enabled.
20The Makefiles in the some of the po/ subdirectories depend upon the
21Makefiles in their parent directories, and distclean will delete the
22Makefiles in the parent directories before running the Makefiles in
23the child directories.  There is no easy way around this (short of
24changing the automake macros) as these dependencies need to exist in
25order to correctly build the NLS files.
