I just need to cry out somewhere ...
Again I am trying to get lesstif build on DU 4.0 w/o any explicit settings
in the environment. It seems those beloved auto* tools are just to
stupid ...
- AM_PROG_CC_STDC
doesn't check nearly for ANSI conformance. All - really all it does
it checking support for prototypes or something like this.
Result: so far it didn't work out w/o explicit setting of CFLAGS
- AC_PROG_YACC
which idiot creates such a macro which unlike it's name uses
bison by default if found? Default should be to use yacc!
The GNU one also has brain-dead handling of __STDC__ and const
and all this. Why don't those people never test such things
on more than their development machine??
- libtool 1.4 requires autoconf/CVS on alpha-linux.
This in turn is not compatible to the earlier release and so
installing it is no pure fun
- left-over of some major bug in automake still in the patched 1.4-p1 release.
(we need to define some vars both conditionally and unconditionally)
- they have three different tools. You can't mix arbitrary versions, but they
don't release them in sync or do things like the item above
- ...
Probably I should x-post to the bug-aut*@ lists, but I guess it won't
help much.
