I'm puzzled by the output I see on MacOS though ? how does echo "$@" end up as /usr/local/share/config.site /usr/local/etc/config.site ? oh well bottom line. autogen.lastrun is the one to keep :-) Norbert ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

Not quite. autogen.last run save the command line given to autgogen.sh. that is _before_ substitution of things like -with-config= for instance. furthermore the content of config.parms has changed over time... at one point not that long ago it was not containing anything remotely close to autogen.lastrun for instance on my Mac, which has autoconf 2.61 $ >cat config.parms /usr/local/share/config.site /usr/local/etc/config.site > We should only need one, but I'm not > sure which one would be better to get rid of. Suggestions? you cannot get rid of config.parms, since that would require patching autoconf you cannot get rid of autogen.lastrun, because it contain what we really need in all cases...

[Libreoffice] config.parms vs autogen.lastrun
Hi, Both autogen.lastrun and config.parms seem to have the same purpose, to store the ./configure command line. We should only need one, but I'm not sure which one would be better to get rid of. Suggestions? Thanks, Peter ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
