To add some on-topicness to this size comparison: how long was > the generated line in the configure script? I don't have such a line, because I'm using automake 1.10, I guess. If you are really interested I could try with another version. > Does gnumach exercise autotools thoroughly and is large in some way(s)? Yes and yes, I'd say. And in fact I had the idea of presenting what I recently have done (converting GNU Mach to use Automake) on these very mailing lists, but didn't get to actually do that so far. > Can I build it on a GNU/Linux system without many prerequisites? Yes. If you're using Debian you need to install the `mig' package, if not, that's easily doable by hand. > I'm interested in adding it to my list of irregularly exercised > autotools regression suite. Nice! So, you actually ask me to present it here. :-) You can basically follow the instructions from <http://hurd.gnufans.org/bin/view/Mach/BuildingGNUMach>. You're most probably interested in using the cvs sources, the `gnumach-1-branch'. You could supply `--disable-default-device-drivers' to the `configure' command line to avoid compiling all the device drivers into the kernel image, which slows down the build, but -- most probably -- won't give any new results for your use case. Everything else (build system wise) should work as expected. Please ask, if there are questions. Regards, Thomas
