[XeTeX] depcomp erorr when building (and workaround)

[Scott Kostyshak]

Hello,

I run the following commands:

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/xetex/code xetex-code &&
cd xetex-code &&
./build.sh

This gives the following error:

/bin/bash:
../../../../source/texk/web2c/web2c/../../../build-aux/depcomp: No such
file or directory

I suppose this has to do with autoconf versions or something like that.
I'm on Ubuntu 16.04. Do others have this issue or perhaps no one else is
on Ubuntu 16.04?

The following workaround leads to a seemingly correct build for me:

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/xetex/code xetex-code &&
cd xetex-code &&
./build.sh --parallel; ln -s '/usr/share/automake-1.15/depcomp'
source/build-aux/depcomp && ./build.sh --parallel

Best,

Scott
