Hi Vaclav,
I had the same problem with MySQL and other external packages, and I
couldn't find anything really appropriate. The smartest thing I could do
was to hack configure.in in this way:

Sorry, I really can't run it right now, my schedule is *too*
Akim,
If you allow me a word as a complete outsider, I personally think that
your wish to maintain documentation for every OS is extremely nice and
denotes a lot of courage, because maintaining such a thing can be hell. I
think this is Pavel's point: that this effort can fade in time, and we

Good morning, then...
Here's your breakfast.:)
Have fun!

Last CVS sources checked out, test rerun (with sh;). There are still tests
failed (21 of them), but the "torture" one is not failed anymore. See
attached file.
Good night:)

Wonderful!
I think you're close to the edge, Akim...
tcsh:
% (false); echo $?
255
% (false; exit); echo $?
0
bash:
$ (false); echo $?
1
$ (false; exit); echo $?
1
sh:
$ (false); echo $?
255
$ (false; exit); echo $?
255
Good luck with that...;)

For bash, the answer is: yes - no. You have the different outputs, the
first I sent today marked "sparc-sun-solaris2.8.gz" and the one I just
sent. They were both generated with bash.
I didn't try again with the other shells. I can do it, but not at once.
Cheers,

Ehm... Sorry, but now there's something I don't get. Really. Is it in any
way possible that the tests give different results if ru
Hi Akim,
Beware! These are two different machines and OSs. The gzipped file I sent
you is for Solaris8/SPARC, while the plaintext test 80 is the *only*
failed test for BSDI3.1 . Please tell me if you want me to send you the
full error file for BSDI3.1 .
As for the Solaris8 tests, I will try to r
Hi Akim,
Wow! I'm now quoted in the "THANKS" file! What an honour!;)
OK, about the serious stuff. I downloaded the CVS version yesterday
afternoon, and tested it on the same host. The backquotes problem is now
gone, so "configure" runs with no problem. "make check" is an almost
complete success,
Hi Autoconfers,
I'm slowly but steadily proceeding in makechecking autoconf on whatever
machine I can get hold of, during my spare minutes...:)
You told me to report any failed checks, so here are a couple of them on a

This one seemed to be working better... At least it gave no errors on exit
and it did create a Makefile. Hope it's fixed?
Cheers,
Daniele.

Hi All,
Since there was no tarball;) I thought I would checkout the CVS just to
have some fun. I started to test here and there, and got some positive
tests (make checks) with a SPARC(-clone) running Solaris 7. Just a tiny
weird thing, it ignored every test in update.m4:
125. ./update.m4:10

When do you plan to publish the new tarball?

Hello everybody,
I might be able to test autoconf on some platforms (BSDI, Solaris, Alpha,
AIX...), as long as it does not involve spending a night doing that, but I
think i missed some information:
- Which version of autoconf do you want to be tested? The version on
