What??? <sigh> Why don't you ever go and actually *find something out* about what you're talking about before you spout nonsense all over the list? This is not a remedial class for people who can't be bothered to read the docs. Yes, gcc uses autoconf. But the end-users who just want to compile gcc from a tarball do not have to have autoconf installed, because we supply all the generated files for them in the tarball. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today....
I follow, The end-users who just want to compile gcc from a tarball do not have to have autoconf installed, because we supply all the generated files for them in the tarball. <- Well, what is the matter if the generated files aren't updated? The users will say many times broken situations like bootstrap doesn't work or else. J.C. Pizarro
