autogen.sh failure

[Guido Van Hoecke]

Hi,

I would like to build my own mc on my iMac running Lion (OS/X 10.7.2).

I cloned the git repository and ran ./autogen.sh but that threw
following error:

configure.ac:62: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_WARN
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.

I reran the script as sh -x autoconf.sh to find out where it failed
exactly and I have attached the zipped output.

I checked the prerequisites mentionned in the above document:

I am not sure how to test the version of the glib library, so I decided
to run autogen.sh and see what happens.

The above occurs with the master branch as well as with the 4.8.1-stable
branch. It does not occur with the 4.7.5-stable branch.

Please advise how to fix the AC_MSG_WARN error.

With kind regards,
Thanks in advance,


Guido
