So, the simplest solution could be to just require automake 1.7.
Yes, this sounds reasonable. Then users would know what the problem was and could probably update automake.
I agree.
Ok, done in SVN. I updated http://www.geany.org/Download/SVN to reflect this change. I didn't find any other reference of a description when building from SVN, i.e. using autogen.sh. Didn't we describe it anywhere else?
I don't think so.
I just added a FAQ about SVN build errors: http://www.geany.org/Documentation/FAQ#QQuestions11
I'm not sure that we need to mention the automake version there, does automake now print an error if the version is less than 1.7?
