Description Philippe Michel 2024-06-11 22:06:01 UTC

AM_PATH_PYTHON fails to detect python3.11 which is annoying since it is now the default version.

Upstream master branch has https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/automake.git/commit/?id=930a9a73f4bb776ec334eff4cf6e182802841daa (and later https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/automake.git/commit/?id=3cd8f54560c1ee2470ff059801d2612898541555) to fix this, but it looks like its m4/python.m4 is quite different from the 1.16.5 version so it may not be straightforward to backport theses commits.

Applying the fix from https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/automake.git/commit/?id=6b4304c12161887171a5ce596157f8e5f25737e4 seems sensible as well.
