./autogen.sh ERROR

[Marthinius]

HI,

I'm trying to install "minidlna" according to the instructions. Unfortunately when trying to run "./autogen.sh" an error is displayed:

autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing
configure.ac:30: warning: The 'AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' macro is deprecated, and its use is discouraged.
configure.ac:30: You should use the Autoconf-provided 'AC_PROG_MKDIR_P' macro instead,
configure.ac:30: and use '$(MKDIR_P)' instead of '$(mkdir_p)'in your Makefile.am files.

I solved this problem by changing in configure.ac line 31:

-AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.18])
+AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.19])

Unfortunately, another problem appeared:

I solved this problem number 2 by adding "foreign" in configure.ac line 21:

- AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([subdir-objects])
+ AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([subdir-objects foreign])
