I'll give it a shot, in the morning. Right now I'm trying to get autoconf to pass its tests again. Here's the deal: Per the earlier discussion about autoconf-2.13/2.52, I was attempting to do a side-by-side installation of the two, and decided to run the checks. (eventaully to write a script that parses configure.in for the AC_REQ[] line to determine which one to call, etc). 2.13 had "226 expected passes, 33 unexpected failures". (On both cygwin-20011001, and cygwin-1.3.3-2). This is the same as our previous experiments, if you remember those. 2.52 was failing all over the place with cygwin-20011001. (With 1.3.2, we had finally gotten autoconf to pass all tests). I'm currently running the tests again with 1.3.3-2, to make sure the 'breakage' occurred during the 1.3.4 development cycle and not before. So far I'm passing all tests with 1.3.3-2 (but this'll take several more hours to complete on my machine). All tests performed on W2Ksp2, CYGWIN=ntsec, and /usr/local/bin/mktemp is the implementation from courtesan.com (we had previously determined that "my" implementation in the misc package sucked; the courtesan version was good). Sigh. I'm not sure I have the energy for this. --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
