RE: cache problem

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

Re: cache problem

I recently posted a patch to do just this. It wasn't applied, one reason being that we didn't see a way how two configure scripts could be running simultaneously; with AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS at least (the GCC tree uses a different way but uses per-configure cache files). How do you get two

cache problem

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

RE: cache problem

build system type was cached)... Another cache problem is with updating the cache file. This seems rather unsafe for parallel builds using the same cache file. What about not using cat for updating, but writing into a separate file, and moving it over the original file (and not checking the mv
