Hello , currently we check in make/autoconf/help.m4
for a couple of well known package handler tools : AC_DEFUN_ONCE([HELP_SETUP_DEPENDENCY_HELP], [ UTIL_LOOKUP_PROGS(PKGHANDLER, zypper apt-get yum brew port pkgutil pkgadd pacman apk) ]) This might be a great thing on UNIX/Mac , but on Windows we just get checking for zypper... [not found] checking for apt-get... [not found] checking for yum... [not found] checking for brew... [not found] checking for port... [not found] checking for pkgutil... [not found] checking for pkgadd... [not found] checking for pacman... [not found] checking for apk... [not found] and the whole check looks a bit questionable. So should we avoid those checks on Windows ? Or do they play some role (I have to admit that I just use cygwin maybe those tools are more important on non-Cygwin Windows environments) ? For other (Windows only) checks started from make/autoconf/configure.ac we seem to check the OS before doing something (e.g. BASIC_WINDOWS_FINALIZE_FIXPATH). Best regards, Matthias
