[squid-users] building 4.0.25

[L A Walsh]

I unpacked the tar and ran configure via a script.

Ran make, but am running into this:

WARNING: 'automake-1.15' is missing on your system.
         You should only need it if you modified 'Makefile.am' or
         'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.

----
Is the libtool failure what is causing it to think automake is missing
(it isn't on my system and suse is shipping automake-1.16 which I haven't
installed yet).

My question is the WARNING above -- saying I shouldn't need it unless
I modified various files.  I haven't.  Just ran configure, which I'm
assuming doesn't modify those files? 

I didn't want to go off and find am1.15 without finding out why it
thinks I need it (since haven't changed any source files at this point).
Also wondering if am1.16 would work in place of am1.15 -- I know
sometimes one needs to keep multiple versions of am around.

Also, tried recompiling 3.5.21+22 and ran into some issues (which
don't really need solving if I get 4.0.25 up and running, but thought
I'd mention them as they seem to be related to me using a more recent
gcc toolchain (7.1.0).
Got a few warnings that were escalated into errors:

1 was due to something deprecated (from 3.5.21 build)

In file included from ../../include/util.h:37:0,
                 from ntlmauth.cc:20:

After disabling that fatal warning, I ran into a different warning
in the FtpGateway.cc file:

cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors

There were others, of the same sort that I didn't copy here.  I turned off
fatal warnings, as this used to work under an older compiler,
but then some things didn't want to link:

  CXXLD    pinger

`TextException::FileNameHash(char const*)'

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

----
Made wonder if maybe gcc V7.1.0 wasn't supported or tried?

---

That's when I decided to try 4.0.25...which points back to the
top of this email...

so...missing 'func_quote_for_eval'?  relation to am-1.15?
am-1.16 usable instead?

Thanks,
