"pretty much" != "every". As a matter of fact one of my main boxes has freebsd.4.11 and autoconf is stuck at 2.59 and there are reasons why i need to run asterisk there and i cannot upgrade certain pieces of software or hardware. BTW building and running software on a variety of platforms helps a lot finding bugs and bogus assumptions in the code. But irrespective of my or your needs, autotools are for portability, and it would be a total waste of time to use them and support only platform X. As it is a waste of time this discussion. bye luigi _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-dev mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-dev
