Hi. It's nice to see blackbox developement moving along again! It's been a great window manager for a long time, and is getting better with each release.
Today I decided to grab the code from CVS instead of relying on tar archives, and I decided to update the configure.in file so it would work nicely with autoconf-2.53. The results of the conversion are attached to this mail. The conversion was done via autoupdate, then I went in and hand edited things. After several iterations of editing, I used my generated configure script to build the CVS blackbox, which I installed and am now running. In addition to modifying the file, I renamed it to configure.ac in accordance with the latest autoconf standards. To use the new file, I ran aclocal, then automake (both version 1.6.1), then autoconf (version 2.53a) to generate the configure script. My modification to the configure.ac file included adding various things like the AC_HELP_STRING macro and many explicit quotes to the autoconf macros. As I was able to generate a good configure script from my changes, I thought I'd send it along. It would be great to get blackbox using the latest autoconf stuff, as the 2.13 version of autoconf is obsolete, and hopefully the configure script here can advance that change. My thanks to everyone working on blackbox - it is a great window manager. -- They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759
