Well, I've just stumbled across one problem: if you run Configure
with --ask, then it won't accept its own default list of ops files.
The problem is this bit of config/inter/ops.pl:
{
$ops=prompt('Which opcode files would you like?', $ops);
if($ops !~ m{^\s*core\.ops}) {
print "core.ops must be the first selection.\n";
redo;
}
}
}
Configure lists ops/core.ops as the first in the list of default ops
files, but this doesn't match the regex. The patch below fixes this
on Unix, but probably isn't portable to Win32; I imagine there's a
better way to fix it.
