I tried to build libsdl1.2 from source on i386 and m68k. It fails on both
machines, since it tries to call automake:

make[3]: Entering directory `/opt/hdb10/cts/debian/package/sdl/1.2/libsdl1.2-1.2.2/src/main'
cd ../.. && automake --foreign --include-deps src/main/Makefile
automake: configure.in: required file `./depcomp' not found

I seem to have (on i386 at least) the same packages Branden used. Did
anybody have the same problem? Did anybody succeed building sdl1.2?
