Hello,
creating a new Maxima package should work as follows:
1) Download sources from CVS.
2) Change line with "AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE" in maxima/configure.in appropriately.
3) Run "sh bootstrap".
Basically it works, however the bootstrap script:
#!/bin/sh
set -x
aclocal
automake --add-missing --copy
autoconf
doesn't seem to do a complete job, since now on the user side (when
installing the new maxima-package) autoconf is required (to pick up
a changed version number from step 2).
I searched the Internet, but couldn't find anything else besides the
above quasi-standard bootstrap sequence. Is there something special
with the Maxima build, so that some other tool needs to be run?
