It is hypothetically possible to get all of the configured files right by hand, but in practice we didn't have enough years in our expected lives to do it. Perhaps you can show us how to do it. Assistance would certainly be welcome.
Hack configure.ac, generate configure on another platform, continue hacking untill port is done. No need whatsoever to have autoconf on the target system (you could even cross compile!). Sure it is. Consider bash. So lets consider bash, what is wrong with it? You state no arguments why it is bad, only that it is based on ksh, which was based on sh and that it dates back to the beginning of UNIX. Emacs must be complete and utter crap if you base things based on how long they have existed... And you'd be suprised how similar todays Emacs is to the Emacs that ran on ITS. Or m4. Hell, even Stu Feldman thought m4 was crap, and he wrote it! Care to give an actual reason why m4 is crap? It does what it does quiet well, like C, which is infact far worse than M4. _______________________________________________ L4-hurd mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/l4-hurd
