[Privoxy-users] 3.0.33 - won't build - obsolete macros

[Matthias Fischer]

Hi,

I hope I'm in the right group... ;-)

I'm trying to build 'privoxy 3.0.33' for IFire / Core 161 / 64bit with
'autoconf 2.71'. The latter seems to be the culprit here.

All previous 'privoxy' versions built fine but '3.0.33' won't. I always
get the following errors:

***SNIP***

***SNAP***

Adding 'autoupdate' in various combinations didn't help - at last it was
only try and error.

Does anybody has a clue or is facing similar problems?

If further informations are needed, please ask...

Thanks in advance,
