It requires changes to Makefile.in as well because, depending on the
distversion, automake is too old at least in SLES11.
Yes, this is annoying. The way I do it for Fedora is to carry a patch
for Makefile.in as well. This patch still has to be prepared with
automake 1.13, so you'd have to make the patch on an OpenSUSE 13.1
box. Something like this:
tar zxf libguestfs-1.24.8.tar.gz
cp -a libguestfs-1.24.8 libguestfs-1.24.8.old
pushd libguestfs-1.24.8
patch -p1 < ../old.patch
automake
popd
diff -ur libguestfs-1.24.8.old libguestfs-1.24.8 > new.patch
