Great, thanks for checking, so I'll install this patch.
I'll close this bug.

Doing (1) makes configure's output exactly what I would expect and works perfectly.

This output of the configure script is rather weird.
Before putting a possible patch in the git repository,
can you please help me with the following:

(1) What do you get when you replace the file ./m4/package_date.m4
by the attached file?

(2) If this does not solve your problem, what do you get when you
remove the line containing

AC_PACKAGE_DATE

in ./configure.ac

> ./configure[2434]: ,: not found


This was a completely unrelated problem that should be fixed now in
the git repository.

Thanks.

I still get an error when running configure:

But configure completes its run, and make works.

For the record that's BSD make, of course.

There was a silly typo in one of the autoconf files that I have fixed in the git repo. Does it work now?

Here is what I get after a completely new git clone:

Blank lines are in original output.

Not sure what went wrong.

I believe that all this `find' stuff is not needed at all; I do not find it in other files autogen.sh, like the one used by GNU Emacs itself. So I've deleted this portion of autogen.sh.

I also made several other changes. Can you please check whether BBDB builds properly with OpenBSD? Thanks.

On OpenBSD 5.3, using the system find, autogen.sh has the following complaint when run

So the autotools files from previous runs are not cleaned up, is what it appears to me. I believe what's happening is that a path is mandatory with BSD find, while GNU find assume that the path is . if it's not given.

Amending lines 34-39 from

to simply

works with both BSD find and GNU find.
