Subject: getconf LONG_BIT in NetBSD
I have been playing with an autoconf
./configure script that I want get running
in several OSes. The script uses "getconf
LONG_BIT" to get the bits of the system.
What is the purpose of this test in the context where it is needed?
I would think that if it's a C program then there's no need ever for any
autoconf test. Just write pure portable C that uses <limits.h> properly.
Hello Greg, thanks for answering.
If you want to take a look:
https://www.sm5bsz.com/linuxdsp/archive/lir05-02.zip
It is a very good SDR radio receiver program. It works in Linux and in
Windows (MinGW) with several commercial radio receivers.
configure.ac:
AC_PREREQ(2.50)
AC_INIT(xmain.c)
AC_MSG_CHECKING([OS])
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])
AC_CONFIG_FILES([ft245.c])
BITS=`(getconf LONG_BIT)`
...
3630 lines of very long configure.ac script that uses $BITS variable
several times to make some decisions.

Regards.
Ramiro.
