I'd like to do another round of asking who's using what version of auto* tools, and if upgrading kaffe to use the latest versions would be desirable or cause problems. See this thread for the last discussion of the issues involved: http://www.kaffe.org/pipermail/kaffe/2002-December/028418.html
Which essentially said "You'll annoy a lot of people, so better have a good reason".
I'd like to raise the discussion again, because a) Pat has 'leaped ahead' of automake 1.4 and autoconf 2.13 on his system. b) Dan has been using latest auto* tools for a while (and libtool from CVS) without much problems. c) Tim doesn't like to mess with auto* tools :) d) I'd prefer to use the latest & greatest autotools for a few reasons, one of them being able to merge Dan's libtool-from-CVS patch.
IMHO you should wait until libtool does their next release (since that'll be the first release of libtool that works well for cross-compiling), then go for it. And go talk to the libtool folks, explaining that you're waiting. Cross-compiling is important because of the growing number of Linux PDA's, cellphones, and embedded systems, all of which sometimes need Java, and because Kaffe is one of the few free JVM's. - Dan -- Dan Kegel http://www.kegel.com http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=78045 _______________________________________________ kaffe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe
