building me-tv with aclocal-1.13 failes

[Christoph Seitz]

If you run the ./autogen.sh script, the folling error will happen.
Running aclocal-1.13...
configure.ac:14: error: 'AM_PROG_CC_STDC': this macro is obsolete.
    You should simply use the 'AC_PROG_CC' macro instead.
    Also, your code should no longer depend upon 'am_cv_prog_cc_stdc',
    but upon 'ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc'.
/usr/share/aclocal-1.13/obsolete-err.m4:17: AM_PROG_CC_STDC is expanded from...
configure.ac:14: the top level

Just delete the "AM_PROG_CC_STDC" line. It is superseded by the AM_PROG_CC macro since 2002.

I am not seeing a problem with AM_PROG_CC_STDC on Debian Unstable or Fedora 20. Is it really the case that this should be replaced with AM_PROG_CC?

[Russel Winder (russel)]

Personally I would replace the whole Autotools build with a SCons or Waf build…
