ELDK rebuild from scratch on RHL 8.0

[Eli Brin]

Hello,

We are trying to build the ELDK from scratch on Redhat Linux 8.0.

The build environment is the same as described in the documentation.

We run the ELDK_BUILD script and it executes the build.sh rpm stage.

It seems that some files are not created and Makefile for rmp-4.0.3 is not
created to.

I have tried also with automake 1.7.2 and autoconf 2.57 with no success.

We found the following text:
....> I had a problem with autogen.sh when compiling TN5250 on RedHat 8.0.
....> (This was 0.17.1 downloaded from CVS.)  It had worked OK on RedHat
7.3.

.... I had the same problem with RedHat 8.0, but hadn't had a chance to
chase
.... down the problem yet.  Thanks for posting this!

I don't know if its related to this problem, because the libtoolize is in
the autogen script.

Any ideas ?  I am sure I followed the instructions carefully, but...

Best Regards,
