793953 - Support autoconf2.13 installed through fink

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[(no longer active)]

fink puts the autoconf binary from its autoconf2.13-legacy package into a weird location to make sure it doesn't overwrite the new autoconf.  I have a patch to detect that situation in client.mk.

What is fink?  Why do we care?

fink is an alternative to things like homebrew on the mac: just another way to get/compile/install Unix-ish software on OS X.

And it's better than the rest of them because it is based on Debian apt.  :-)

(And I happen to use it ;-)

I think fink is being dumb here, but ok, fine.

And backed this out, since that was broken for reasons that are not clear to me.
