Issue 14: Build system doesn't work with automake1.10
http://code.google.com/p/google-ctemplate/issues/detail?id=14

New issue report by jasta00:
automake1.10 generates a Makefile.in that substantially differs from the
one created by 1.9, and causes failures compiling statemachine_test as a
result. Here's a small snippet of the failure:

/bin/bash ./libtool --tag=CXX --mode=link g++ -xc -g -O2 -o
statemachine_test statemachine_test.o statemachine_test-statemachine.o
g++ -xc -g -O2 -o statemachine_test statemachine_test.o
statemachine_test-statemachine.o
statemachine_test.o:1: error: stray '\177' in program
statemachine_test.o:1: error: stray '\1' in program
statemachine_test.o:1: error: stray '\1' in program
statemachine_test.o:1: error: stray '\1' in program
statemachine_test.o:1:8: warning: null character(s) ignored

I installed automake1.9 and invoked:

ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.9 AUTOMAKE=automake-1.9 autoreconf -i -s

Which generated a Makefile.in more closely matching the distributed one,
and the build succeeded.

Comment #1 by csilvers:
That's very likely; old autotools have lots of issues that later
versions have
improved on.

We try to make the code itself work on as old (and diverse) a platform
as we can
practically support, but for maintainer tools, folks will need to use something
relatively recent.
