These files aren't missing: they will get created as part of the build process. If you follow the instructions in the README.cvs and run autopoint, you will see these messages but everything still works properly. Unfortunately I'm not sure how to keep automake from complaining about these: they will be built before they're needed but I haven't been able to convince automake of that. However, as I say, even though these messages appear everything works OK.

I've tested with autoconf 2.57, automake 1.7.6, and gettext 0.12.1.

For agt: I found some problems with distcheck, but not related to the above issue (some config files forgotten, etc.) I've fixed this and will check in these changes shortly.

For your information, I also have this problem on Mandrake Linux 9.1, with latest make from CVS (3.81a2, first date in ChangeLog: 2003-04-30), and with autoconf/automake built from source:

agt@lonely:~/src/cvs/make$ autoconf --version | head -1
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.57

agt@lonely:~/src/cvs/make$ automake --version | head -1
automake (GNU automake) 1.7.5

agt@lonely:~/src/cvs/make$ autoreconf -i -s

autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1

Note that this doesn't prevent me from executing the following commands: "./configure", "make update", "make", "make check". But "make distcheck" does fail.

According to automake-1.7.5 the cvs is missing these and they don't get added via --add-missing. They are labeled as ``required''.

<term>
BoydE@QWEST-WKCH1I7I3 /prj/pkg/src/make/tryit
$ automake --add-missing --copy
Makefile.am: required file `./README' not found
configure.in:398: required file `./build.sh.in' not found

</term>

The workaround I used was ``touch README build.sh.in''.
