---------------------------------------------------------------

Temporarily Hardcoding a version number instead of the apparently failing `short_version` macro might allow you to build… I also commented out AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR as it was causing build tools to search nonexistent dir.

> Trying to build asterisk with Dahdi support in docker. I cannot get master branch (obtained from github mirror commit id 75eedd6fa6dbd25c0edc689dd2568b04a6c5b1ba) to build. It stops with errors on "autoreconf -i" and I don't understand the reasons.
> I see
> {{
> autoreconf -i
> configure.ac:15: error: AC_INIT should be called with package and version arguments
> /usr/share/aclocal-1.15/init.m4:29: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is expanded from...
> configure.ac:15: the top level
> autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
> aclocal: error: echo failed with exit status: 1
> autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1
> }}
> but no issues are visible to me where it's pointing to.
> I'm working on short steps to reproduce the issue in docker, but in short:
> Install build dependencies,
> download the zip from github of master at the mentioned commit ID,
> extract,
> run "autoreconf -i"
