[PATCH] Fix usage of $(builddir) in SSSD

[Stephen Gallagher]

There are some old versions of automake that do not define
$(builddir) correctly. Since $(builddir) is "Rigorously equal to
‘.’", we'll set it at the top of the Makefile.am files.

I can't validate this patch. I think the problem with the build is a bit
different .
When I run "autoreconf -i -f" from the root it fails.
If fails with the following error:
Can't exec "autopoint": No such file or directory at
/usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 288, <GEN0> line 88.
autoreconf: failed to run autopoint: No such file or directory

Error comes from processing the "server" directory.
Some digging showed that the issue is related to gettext package.
The gettext package on RHEL misses autopoint. According to one of the
forums it is in the gettext-devel.
This package is not if RHEL repo.
http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=21433

I started researching what I can do about it.
I will let you know.

Ok it seems that RHN has gettext-devel package.
I did not see it because yum was not showing the RHN packages when I was
not running yum info or search as root.
I thought you need to be root only to install or update.

So now I installed one. The error I get now is:
autopoint: *** The AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION declaration in your
configure.ac               file requires the infrastructure from
gettext-0.17 but this version               is older. Please upgrade to
gettext-0.17 or newer.
autopoint: *** Stop.
autoreconf: autopoint failed with exit status: 1

I do not know if we actually need 0.17 or not.
May be we just need 0.14.
I tried changing check to 0.12 in configure.ac.
In this case I get the following error:

configure.ac:18: option `color-tests' not recognized
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1
autoreconf: cannot empty /tmp/arwjs545: Is a directory

(each time it is different file name in /tmp)

I give up for now.
I will see what I can do about setting a fedora machine running from
flash drive.

This is a feature I just added recently. I did not realize it was not
backwards-compatible. I will remove it.

Similarly, I am now setting up a RHEL5 developer machine to attempt to
resolve these build issues. Thank you for testing.

I have tracked down and fixed four bugs in the RHEL5 build process. It
will now build without errors (a few warnings which will be addressed
separately)

Patch 0002: Same as the earlier patch in this thread. Ensures that
$(builddir) is populated since older versions of automake do not do this
implicitly

Patch 0003: Remove the 'color-tests' argument from AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE,
since it was not supported on older versions of automake

Patch 0004: Support gettext >= 0.14. We aren't using any features of
gettext that weren't in 0.14, so we'll adjust our minimum to support it.

Patch 0005: Support Docbook DTD 4.4. Similarly, we weren't actually
using any of the 4.5 features, and RHEL5 only supports up to 4.4.

I haven't check that it will work on RHEL5, but it doesn't break anything
on F11, so ...

ACK to all.

Ack to all. The patches apply cleanly on RHEL and fix the build. One
minor thing that is missing is creation of the m4 dir on the top level.
Please provide a separate patch for that one.
