Indeed, it seems that GNU m4 is required to regenerate the configure
script; that is not a problem at all as the nmh source code will include
a ready to use autoconf script. But once applied the patch that fixes
the issues with nmh-1.2, non-GNU m4 flavours (at least the one in BSDs)
complain about an unmatched bracket.
Previously, I was able to run "./configure", "make" and "make install"
on machines that do not have GNU m4 installed (e.g., machines with a
fresh NetBSD install).
Again, I believe that it is possible I did something wrong when regenerating
the configure script. Why is m4 required to run "./configure"? It can be
my fault, perhaps I did an incomplete configure script regeneration.
What I see is that, after regenerating the configure script and making
a new "tarball" with an updated "configure", I need GNU m4 to run the
configure script and compile nmh.
Cheers,
Igor.
