Hi folks!
My current quest is a Linux2WinXp port. The originating source tree is
processed using the autotools
and I intended to apply them (almost) unaltered within a MSYS-environment.
When I tried to execute aclocal from either distribution 1.9 and 1.10 I
found aclocal creates
aclocal.m4 only under Linux, but nothing happened under MSYS.
When I examined the Perl-script I found this in sub write_aclocal():
for my $m (@macros)
{
$files{$map{$m}} = 1 if $map{$m} eq $map_traced_defs{$m};
}
And you know what? Windows _never_ever_ clears memory beforehand.
For that reason, $files{$map{$m}} _always_ is set by default, and the
subsequent
%files = strip_redundant_includes %files;
erase the entire of %files everytime.
for my $m (@macros)
{
$files{$map{$m}} = 0;
$files{$map{$m}} = 1 if $map{$m} eq $map_traced_defs{$m};
}
will do the job.
# Nothing to output?!
# FIXME: Shouldn't we diagnose this?
return if ! length ($output);
Done in this case, I guess :)
Best regards
Michael
