Hello Markus, thanks for the reports. [snip] FWIW, I'm not yet sure whether this is a valid problem. Even if it is, you should be able to work around it by adding AC_CANONICAL_HOST to the toplevel configure.ac. But anyway, before discussing validity let's try to reproduce it: I

Hi! I just noticed, that when i enable a config.cache that is used by more than one package is problematic, when the first on checks for the build system type only, and the second for both build and host system type. This is, because the host system type check uses ac_cv_build_alias, which is set

God-damnit! please don't change autoconf to not support old style names. Why can't you guys just make new things but still support for older style or at least make a switch or option where if users need to they can revert back to the old style. Progress here is like going back 2000 year

RE: msys : convert datadir to windows directory syntax

2007-09-04 Thread Duft Markus
Hi! I found a comment in some macro i used to use some time ago (to define directories). It seems that since autoconf 2.60 $datadir contains $datarootdir, so either use $datarootdir directly, or change the MSYS_... Macro to do an eval on that variable, so it gets resolved. Heres the macro too:

Hi! I copied that macro from some autoconf macro archive or so, so i didn't write it. Goolge for AC_DEFINE_DIR, it should be the first match - that's where i got it from ;o) Cheers, Markus Keith MARSHALL wrote: Markus Duft wrote: I found a comment in some macro i used to use some time ago

Hi Mark! It sure would be some benefit for the *user* of the package. Still as a maintainer or developer, i really do need to manually configure, since i *never ever* install any of the development packages in the default prefix, this would be suicide! Just what i think of this ;o) Cheers,
