Roman Shaposhnik updated HDFS-1619: ----------------------------------- Attachment: HDFS-1619.patch.txt This trivial patch bites the bullet and removes the dependency on newer autoconf and on AC_TYPE_INTXX macros. The logic here is this -- on all platforms with conformant C99 compilers these macros are useless anyway, on platforms where C99 compiler is NOT available libhdfs is unlikely to compile even when these macros are present. > Does libhdfs really need to depend on AC_TYPE_INT16_T, AC_TYPE_INT32_T, > AC_TYPE_INT64_T and AC_TYPE_UINT16_T ? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-1619 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1619 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Roman Shaposhnik > Assignee: Konstantin Shvachko > Attachments: HDFS-1619.patch.txt > > > Currently configure.ac uses AC_TYPE_INT16_T, AC_TYPE_INT32_T, AC_TYPE_INT64_T > and AC_TYPE_UINT16_T and thus requires autoconf 2.61 or higher. > This prevents using it on such platforms as CentOS/RHEL 5.4 and 5.5. Given > that those are pretty popular and also given that it is really difficult to > find a platform > these days that doesn't natively define intXX_t types I'm curious as to > whether we can simply remove those macros or perhaps fail ONLY if we happen > to be on such > a platform. > Here's a link to GNU autoconf docs for your reference: > http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/autoconf/Particular-Types.html -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
