bootstrap not compatible with automake 1.11.1

[SharkCZ]

The bootstrap script is not compatible with automake 1.11.1, because the regular expression for checking whether automake is 1.7 or above catches the string "1.1" at the end of 1.11.1 and thus thinks 1.11.1 is too old. See attachment for a fix.

It's a known issue, and I already have a(different) patch in my working-copy.
See also this topic: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,11808.msg80123.html#msg80123.
I did not (yet) apply it, because there have not been any responses except from the one posted by KirkD.

Here is the patch as I use it actually on my system:

Code:

It would be nice, if you can test it.

No answer in both threads   .

I treat this as no objections   .

So I applied my patch to trunk (svn r6074).

What is bootstrap? Do I need to call it from command.com?!

My searching thru the forums didn't find it, but your patch is definitely better, thanks.
