[Dune] [#891] changing of configure.ac not possible for extracted tarballs (Attachment added)

[Dune]

THIS IS AN AUTOMATED MESSAGE, DO NOT REPLY.

A new Flyspray task has been opened.  Details are below.

Attached to Project - Dune
Summary - changing of configure.ac not possible for extracted tarballs
Task Type - Bug Report
Category - Dune Core Modules
Status - Unconfirmed
Assigned To - 
Operating System - Unspecified / All
Severity - Low

Due Date - Undecided
Details - For extracted tarballs, it is apparently not possible to change configure.ac. In the attached example based on the configure.ac from dune-common 2.0, I added a line for an additional Makefile. 

Executing make results in 

CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh /temp/bernd/DUMUXSVN/dune-common-2.0/missing --run aclocal-1.11 -I .
configure.ac:6: error: AC_INIT should be called with package and version arguments
/usr/share/aclocal-1.11/init.m4:26: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is expanded from...
configure.ac:6: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
aclocal-1.11: autom4te failed with exit status: 1
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 1

dunecontrol runs an unmodified configure and also fails when calling make. 

Is it simply not possible and/or not wanted to build a new configure from an extracted tarball? 

Kind regards 
Bernd
