Hi:
Hi Dan,
m4 is missing a command line option for getting the version, such as -v and/or --version.I came across this issue while trying to build curl on FreeBSD 5.4. The buildconf scirpt checks for m4 by doing "m4 --version". It chokes at that point. So, it'd be really nice if both a -v and --version option could be put in please. The latter is the flag used by the other GNU build related programs.
Works for me:
$ m4 --version
GNU m4 1.4.4
$ ~/devel/savannah/m4-bsd/m4 --version
/home/gary/devel/savannah/m4-bsd/m4: invalid option -- -
usage: m4 [-gs] [-d flags] [-t macro] [-o file] [-Dname[=val]] [-Uname] [-I
dirname...]
Looks like you don't have GNU m4 installed on that machine.
Cheers,
Gary.
