Thanks for the link.

Have you ever considered replacing autotool with CMAKE? Our experience
is quite positive with it, especially for multi platform (i.e. Unix,
Windows) development. For example its syntax is incomparable easier,
everything is more consistent and it can generate Makefiles (GNU of
Microsoft) and VS project files, too.

And - most importantly - you need a single (and backward compatible)
build tool (CMAKE) instead of a full toolchain. Installing and using
specific versions of autoconf, automake and libtool is very
inconvenient.

CbcCompareBase.hpp, see the patch below.
