Ah, that works. Thank you Arun. [ I originally wrote a much longer mail containing many examples of how the above doesn't work. But they all simply come down to autoconf/automake/libtool still being as fragile as they were a decade ago. "make install prefix=/foo/" fails. "make install prefix=/foo" works. And the ten lines of error messages are completely useless. "autoconf -i" fails spectacularly after autoconf/automake were run. Removing every file generated by autoconf/automake and it works as it should. I tend to agree with Rob Landley that the clean solution these days is to write against well-established standards not add a configure script. Any platform worth porting to supports posix and sus. But that is completely beside the point. So please ignore my ramblings and thanks again, Arun. ] Jörn -- Chance favors only the prepared mind. -- Louis Pasteur _______________________________________________ Libunwind-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libunwind-devel
