According to haibin zhang on 11/22/2006 4:36 AM: > HI All: > Just now I can't use m4-1.4.8 in Mingw in Windows XP( I can compile > it,but can't be used) It worked fine for me to cross-compile on cygwin targetting mingw; in fact, that was one of my criteria for a successful release. I haven't changed any line-ending behavior in the 1.4.x series, so 1.4.8 should behave similarly to prior versions of m4 compiled for mingw. > Does anybody test it in Mingw ? Yes. Also, my understanding is that Charles Wilson recently ported 1.4.7 to mingw; he will probably port 1.4.8 soon. > > ./bootstrap.sh Why are you running ./bootstrap.sh? For that matter, what is contained in bootstrap.sh (since m4 only ships with a bootstrap script, not bootstrap.sh). What is wrong with the m4 tarball as is? bootstrap is ONLY intended to be run if you are compiling from CVS, not from a release tarball. And if you don't have an up-to-date CVS checkout of gnulib handy, bootstrap.sh will fail. Or am I misunderstanding you, and you are trying to demonstrate bootstrapping some other project, where you installed version of m4 1.4.8 is not acting the way you suspected? > configure.ac:32: warning: AM_PROG_MKDIR_P is m4_require'd but not m4_defun'd > m4/po.m4:207: AM_PO_SUBDIRS is expanded from... > m4/gettext.m4:347: AM_GNU_GETTEXT is expanded from... > configure.ac:32: the top level M4 1.4.8 does not use gettext. How are you picking up an instance of m4/gettext.m4? That should not be happening. > src/Makefile.am:14: Libtool library used but `LIBTOOL' is undefined Likewise - m4 1.4.8 does not use libtool. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
