Here's what I have found: Automake's version in latest-stable is inconsistent with perl's version (the perl package was updated less than a week ago, automake is older). Newer perl versions treat unescaped open braces in regex as syntax errors (prior to that they have been deprecated for several releases). Line 3936 of automake, which is a perl script, contains such a brace: /usr/bin/automake 3936: $text =~ s/\${([^ \t=:+{}]+)}/substitute_ac_subst_variables_worker ($1)/ge; The problem is fixed on edge, but I guess you might want to backport that. Meanwhile, should I try building edge instead? As far as I know you have build bots for the project. I should go through an IRC channel log if I'm interested in their output, right? P.S.: Hope you don't mind my posting directly to the developer list. -- Vlad --- Unsubscribe: alpine-devel+unsubscribe@lists.alpinelinux.org Help: alpine-devel+help@lists.alpinelinux.org ---
