Hi Chase, I sincerely doubt that autoconf works anymore on half of the systems they list, and from what I’ve seen of bug reports, they either don’t respond or tell users their system is the problem. I could probably check later to see if the existing CDE autotools branch is compatible with Thom

My purpose is not to decrease supported operating systems with the introduction of automake. Automake was (at least in theory) supposed to be a build system that we wouldn't have to maintain ourselves with the most supported operating systems that could be build projects without the tools even b

Hi Chase, I am not sure what behavior GNU is expecting, but older releases of GNU make and autoconf worked fine. It seems that if the purpose of autoconf is increased portability, the onus should be on them to repair breakages, not on vendors who have customers demanding compatibility with deca

While this is impressive, it still won't be relevant for very long due to our impending transition to autotools, did you ever get that make=gmake hack to work? I was also thinking that a good way to solve the rm problem would be to build the upstream ksh and link it to /bin/sh, since their rm is

Hello, This patch allows for parallel ‘make World’ with imake. If we are interested in cross-compilation support, I could work on that as well. Kind regards, Lev 0001-Teach-imake-how-to-perform-parallel-builds-on-Linux-.patch Description: Binary data ___
