Does not bulid properly with automake 1.15 (which is latest in brew)

[sunilvirus]

I just did a fresh installation of brew and the packages needed for building this (libtool, automake etc). I faced compilation issues. Figured that the problem is because brew installs automake1.15 by default. Automake 1.15 is released in jan 2015 and its does not like the old style conf files which are used in these tools. So, one has to

install automake 1.12
brew install homebrew/versions/automake112
and also create symbolic links for automake and aclocal in /usr/local/bin
ln -s /usr/local/bin/automake112 /usr/local/bin/automake
ln -s /usr/local/bin/aclocal112 /usr/local/bin/aclocal

Thanks for the heads-up.

Getting our Makefiles.am compatible with 1.15 automake is not straight easy, so currently we will probably add a "You need automake version 1.12, not 1.15" to the documentation, but we'll try to upgrade our build system so we can support this new version.

Btw, the issue is that automake 1.15 enables the "subdir-objects" option by default, which changes the output directory for each object file according to its source file path, and this does not interact well with our multiple architecture builds.

Dear, i'm using the newest automake for Ubuntu14.04 and couldn't build the lib from git! I would like to ask for how to downgrade automake to the proper version? I have the same issue with the guy on the link below:
