Is there any particular reason for applying the debian patch for popt? The only useful file that the patch patches is popt.c (for a single fix which was not needed on my system; if needed it can probably be achieved by a sed). Here is a list of file it patches (I ignored the files in debian directory): $ patch -Np1 -i ../popt_1.7-5.diff patching file Makefile.in patching file aclocal.m4 patching file config.guess patching file config.h.in patching file config.sub patching file configure patching file install-sh patching file ltmain.sh patching file missing patching file popt.c
The patch patches configure but when make runs it causes the autotools to run needlessly. The book incorrectly states that configure.in was patched hence we need to let autotools run. IMO, we should remove the patch from the book and just make it a CMMI installation. -- Tushar Teredesai mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~tushar/ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
