The distro comes with a version of autoconf 2.59, and you can use the alternatives package to make it your primary version. Also, the normal autoconf installed by the distro is a wrapper script, which honors various environment variables to forward to the desired autoconf version on a per-package basis. So you don't have to build autoconf 2.59 from scratch to build gcc. > I'd be surprised if debian had a specific automatic dependency setup for > gcc build, although more of the tools would be included in the base > package selection, or come in automatically when installing gcc. setup.exe only pulls in runtime requirements. For build-time requirements, you need to read the README for the additional packages that you must install. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
