configure does! However, you need to be able to generate it properly. I thought autoconf should/would bail on missing macros, but in any case, that's beyond our ability to fix. > As to AM_ICONV—this seems to be not optional as a call to AM_ICONV still > resides in the generated configure file... Which is wrong, but probably causes your interpreter to simply emit some error about a missing/undefined function, since the macro call has no arguments. Proper bootstrapping is hard, maybe we could extend the bootstrap script to check these requirements and just refuse to work if missing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
