LT_PREREQ([2.4.2]) does not work with Libtool 2.4.2, although Libtool 2.4.2 manual says that it will.
Today I learned this useless nearly useless piece of arcana.
@sajith I often refer to the things one learns about autotools as "scar tissue", like building calluses or such. Useless except possibly to prevent being hurt by the exact same thing next time.
@graydon That is such an excellent analogy!
I was hoping to be done with fixing the build system in this old sprawling project in "maybe a couple of weeks" and never having to touch it again and forget it all for ever and... well, we all know how that goes. :-)
I am also seeing the silly error in that sentence for the first time now. I made sure I spelled "arcana" right, but missed repeated use of "useless". Brains are weird.
