AC_PROG_YACC question

2001-10-05 Thread David Coquil
Hi list, Here's what autoconf (2.13) docs say about AC_PROG_YACC : If bison is found, set output variable YACC to `bison -y'. Otherwise, if byacc is found, set YACC to `byacc'. Otherwise set YACC to `yacc'. I was wondering, if it finds neither bison nor byacc, why

mawk gawk nawk awk

2001-10-05 Thread Jens Petersen
Hi, I want to ask about the awk search order of autoconf. It seems that mawk is currently preferred, since it's generally faster. However I understand the opinion is that gawk is a better awk than mawk, so how about making that the first choice. In this day and age of very fast machines, I

From: John Poltorak [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 5 Oct 2001 11:51:30 +0100 Just wondered why Autoconf insists on looking for gawk and ignores awk, unless $AWK is set... It doesn't ignore 'awk'; it just prefers 'gawk' if there is one. On Solaris 8, 'awk' is old awk, and is far inferior to

Building optional shared libraries

2001-10-05 Thread Bill Moseley
I know this is a very basic question, and I hope not too off topic. I'm new to this. I'm looking for an example use of autoconf to optionally use a shared library, and what to instructions to give when the library is installed in a non-standard location. I'm wondering if there's a standard

Hi, Akim! People, the question is: If we look for a reasonable shell and re-exec configure once we found one, are you OK with keeping $LINENO used in configure, even if the shell does not treat $LINENO specially? *And*, keep in mind the decision involves M4sh too
