           Summary: [Gtk] Running automake fails with current
                    automake/libtool
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: calvin.walton at gmail.com


With current versions of autotools, creating the build system fails with the
following messages:

autoreconf-2.63: running: automake --add-missing --copy --no-force
/usr/share/automake-1.10/am/depend2.am: am__fastdepCXX does not appear in
AM_CONDITIONAL
/usr/share/automake-1.10/am/depend2.am:   The usual way to define
`am__fastdepCXX' is to add `AC_PROG_CXX'
/usr/share/automake-1.10/am/depend2.am:   to `configure.ac' and run `aclocal'
and `autoconf' again.
GNUmakefile.am: C++ source seen but `CXX' is undefined
GNUmakefile.am:   The usual way to define `CXX' is to add `AC_PROG_CXX'
GNUmakefile.am:   to `configure.ac' and run `autoconf' again.
autoreconf-2.63: automake failed with exit status: 1

(autoconf 2.63, automake 1.10.2, libtool 2.2.6)

The fix is quite simple, as suggested by the error - simply use the AC_PROG_CXX
macro in configure.ac.
(This will not affect older autotools versions, as the macro has been around
for a long time - it is simply no longer automatically included).
