Hi Michael,

The mcrypt SPEC file calls (/usr/bin/)autoreconf in the %build section.
This apparantly calls the above commands as well as autoheader and
autopoint repeatedly.

Although I have a basic understanding of the subject (ie I understand the
need to generate the make files) but am definitely lacking knowledge of
details on the subject.
Point is that the autoreconf script calls all these commands and I am not
sure I need them all. For the configuration of libmcrypt libtoolize seems
to suffice.
Guess I'll have some reading up to do. http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/
seems like a good starting point.

Does that mean that there is no need to call them explicitely from the
SPEC file? When I remove the call to autoreconf from the SPEC file I get a
versioning error regarding automake...
Ah well, I fixed the most important issues and made updated rpm's
available last night. I'll do some reading up before releasing newer
versions of the packages. Thanks for your input.
Bye,
Leonard.
