That may not be minor .. Autoconf is loaded with irrelevant checks. If one of them fails, and prevents it from building, when nothing is really wrong, that is a major bug. That reminds me .. many years ago, before gEDA existed, when free software was usually distributed as "shar" files, Linux had not hit version 1.0 yet .. someone sent me autoconf stuff for ACS (predecessor to gnucap). It didn't work on my system (a BSD variant). He did the work on Linux. I couldn't figure out how to fix it, and neither could he. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
