I am doing further development based on aMule-2.2.6, and I have changed some autoconf & automake config. When I run the autogen.sh script, it produces a configure script without any warning. But the configure script has syntax error. And then I try to run the autogen.sh in original aMule-2.2.6 tarball, but it still produces the same error. Here's the end of configure output:

...

I am using Ubuntu 10.04.
GNU Autoconf version: 2.65; GNU Automake version: 1.11.1
I wonder what is wrong. Thanks.

1) You'd better base your development on current development version, sources available for free: Subversion or git

2) Your problem is most likely caused by a superfluous 'dnl' command in one of the m4 source files, that makes newer autotools behave different than older ones. I can't tell you by heart which one is the trouble-maker, but as far as I know it's already fixed in the development version.

Thank you for your suggestions.
I am just adding DLP support to aMule, and amule.org has said that DLP will not be accepted. Since a stable aMule with DLP is quite necessary for users in China, I just want to extend a stable release instead of a development version. I will try the aMule 2.3.1 RC1.

[GonoszTopi]

I said to use the development version because that will soon become the next stable version, so your work will already be done for 2.3.1.
