I would of course take such a text.
Ok.
Not sure if it's a good idea to add some smartness to the configure script for
common cases like Solaris, like checking for uname
uname will be fine, but its worth asking ... is AC_CANONICAL_HOST not
desirable ? It does slow down the initial phase of configure.
or even unconditionally
extending $PATH -- the GNU packages are commonly in the same path all the
time, right?
I was thinking along the same lines; yes, packages from
sunfreeware.com and the newer Companion CD
(http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/freeware/) can be found at
standard locations. Also, if you're happy to take patches that go a
little overboard in dealing with Solaris, we can ensure that configure
degrades gracefully down to the Solaris /usr/xpg4 binaries where we
have already know that we support the Solaris binaries.
