Update of sr #110657 (project autoconf): Status: Need Info => Wont Do
_______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comment #3: OK, I think I see what's happening now; you have an egrep that's good enough, but you also want to test for header files and Autoconf's header-file tests insist on robust 'grep' because they prefer to use 'grep -E', as egrep was removed from POSIX a long time ago. For this sort of thing, I suggest either (a) installing and using a better 'grep' like GNU grep, or (b) running something like './configure ac_cv_path_GREP=/usr/bin/grep ac_cv_path_egrep=/usr/bin/egrep' in the hopes that your system grep and egrep are good enough for 'configure'. (a) should be much better in the long run. I doubt whether we should modify Autoconf to work around this problem, as it should occur only on nonstandard platforms that are no longer supported even by their own suppliers. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?110657> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
