I saw in the recent Automake release notes that there’s a tentative plan that Autoconf 2.0 will require at least a POSIX shell. Herr Diez, is this close enough to “Bash” to suit your purposes? That is, are you just looking for things like $() instead of ``, or are you intending to commit outright bash-isms? _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
