I share Bill's idea. Having a configure script generated from autoconf does not mean we can't have our own say -- one can include custom variations in configure.ac or aclocal.m4. My guess is that a hand written configure will try to approximate standard, widely-tested, Autoconf functionalities with the burden of maintainance on Axiom instead of the porting community which is already doing the work. That does not sound right ot me. I have a good experience with Autoconf and large systems, I appreciate the pecularities of Axiom but I don't think Autoconf is antagonistic to Axiom requirements. Furtheremore, I don't believe Autoconf is a C-only solution -- but hey, it is true that I've developped more with C-family languages than lisp :-) | I'll make | my own proposal and then the Axiom Community will decide. :-) -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
