This idea has come up before: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-09/msg00022.html There have been a few changes in autoconf's MKDIR_P since then, and I haven't analyzed all of the ramifications of making such a change. Is SHELL always available in all places that expand @[EMAIL PROTECTED] How will this interact with Automake, both 1.9.6 and 1.10, which have been released, as well as CVS automake? Would a different approach be adding a config.status hook that always does 'chmod +x install-sh' if install-sh was required? -- Eric Blake -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/%24SHELL-for-%24ac_install_sh--tf4470961.html#a12758402 Sent from the Gnu - Autoconf - Bugs mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
