https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5114

           Summary: "make" fails on SCO 5.0.6a due to autoconf
                    incompatibility
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned@samba.org
        ReportedBy: aaron.pelton@ahs.state.vt.us
         QAContact: rsync-qa@samba.org


502$ ./configure && make
--(configure output removed)
autoconf -o configure.sh
Usage: autoconf [-h] [--help] [-m dir] [--macrodir=dir]
       [-l dir] [--localdir=dir] [--version] [template-file]
make: *** [configure.sh] Error 1

a second machine with more 5.0.6a patches results in
$ make
autoconf -o configure.sh
configure.in:6: error: Autoconf version 2.59 or higher is required
configure.in:6: the top level
autom4te: /usr/gnu/bin/gm4 failed with exit status: 1
make: *** [configure.sh] Error 1

--------
make install similarly fails as above.

"./configure && make rsync" works fine although a manual
install is required.

------- Comment #1 from wayned@samba.org  2007-11-30 20:05 CST -------
I believe you're referring to the 3.0.0pre6 release.  The tar file was
created
with slightly askew timestamps.  The work-around is to touch configure.sh and
config.h.in anytime after extracting the files from the tar file.

The release script was fixed to avoid this in the future.
