[jira] Commented: (THRIFT-844) Build Requirements state autoconf 2.59+ is required, but 2.60+ is needed

David Reiss commented on THRIFT-844:
------------------------------------

I agree with this issue.  We've been lax to up the ac_prereq because the build actually will succeed with autoconf 2.59.

> Though the [Build Requirements|http://wiki.apache.org/thrift/ThriftRequirements] state that autoconf 2.59+ is required (even though 2.60+ is listed as recommended), and the configure.ac has a AC_PREREQ of 2.59, macros which require 2.60+ are being used in the configure.ac.  This makes building SVN Thrift impossible on autoconf 2.59, the latest stable in CentOS 5.5.
> AC_PREREQ and the wiki should be updated to reflect the actual build requirements, or the macros which require the later version should be removed.
