Running autoconf 2.70 with -Wall,error on a configure.ac that uses
AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0 gives:
configure.ac:261: warning: The macro `AC_TRY_RUN' is obsolete.
configure.ac:261: You should run autoupdate.
./lib/autoconf/general.m4:2996: AC_TRY_RUN is expanded from...
/usr/share/aclocal/glib-2.0.m4:11: AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0 is expanded from...
configure.ac:261: the top level
configure.ac:261: warning: The macro `AC_TRY_LINK' is obsolete.
configure.ac:261: You should run autoupdate.
./lib/autoconf/general.m4:2919: AC_TRY_LINK is expanded from...
/usr/share/aclocal/glib-2.0.m4:11: AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0 is expanded from...
configure.ac:261: the top level
Run autoupdate on glib-2.0.m4 to change AC_TRY_RUN and AC_TRY_LINK into
the suggested alternative, and adjust the formatting a little bit.
The macros used in the alternative existed for long enough that there
shouldn't be a problem with backwards compatibility.

How to report bugs
Bugs should be reported to the GNOME issue tracking system. (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/issues/new). You will need to create an account for yourself.
In the bug report please include:
- Information about your system. For instance:
- What operating system and version
- For Linux, what version of the C library
- And anything else you think is relevant.
- How to reproduce the bug.
- If you can reproduce it with one of the test programs that are built in the tests/ subdirectory, that will be most convenient. Otherwise, please include a short test program that exhibits the behavior. As a last resort, you can also provide a pointer to a larger piece of software that can be downloaded.
- If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out when the crash occurred.
- Further information such as stack traces may be useful, but is not necessary.
Patches
Patches should also be submitted as merge requests to gitlab.gnome.org. If the patch fixes an existing issue, please refer to the issue in your commit message with the following notation (for issue 123): Closes: #123
Otherwise, create a new merge request that introduces the change, filing a separate issue is not required.
