Since I'm not autohell expert I just proposed a method, not an actual fix so far. I'm looking into the conditional solution but if anyone can do it quicker, please step forward. The ugly brute force fix would just be what I wrote, add this above AC_PROG_OBJCXX (in configure.ac): m4_pattern_allow(AC_PROG_OBJCXX) Oliver > On 13-Jul-2012 9:47 AM, Oliver Bock wrote: >> Hi David, >> >> The problem is that we now have lost autoconf backwards compatibility. >> Using AC_PROG_OBJCXX unconditionally breaks builds on older systems that >> don't know about that macro.
