From: ShaoHe Feng <shaohef(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com&gt; configure complains AM_PROG_MKDIR_P and MKDIR_P are obsolete. configure.ac:44: warning: The 'AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' macro is deprecated, and its use is discouraged. configure.ac:44: You should use the Autoconf-provided 'AC_PROG_MKDIR_P' macro instead, configure.ac:44: and use '$(MKDIR_P)' instead of '$(mkdir_p)'in your Makefile.am files. Automake manual says: mkdir_p to one of mkdir -p, install-sh -d, or mkinstalldirs Nowadays Autoconf provides a similar functionality with AC_PROG_MKDIR_P. Automake manual advises to switch ASAP to the more modern Autoconf-provided interface instead; both the macro and the variable might be removed in a future major Automake release. AC_PROG_MKDIR_P will set output variable MKDIR_P. And kimchi already contains install-sh under build-aux.
