This is a problem with your autoconf tools setup. But as for the AC_TRY_RUN warnings, you can ignore them.

David

Greetings,

I'm attempting to build dx from CVS, checked out today.  When I run
./CVSMake, I get the following error from autoheader:

configure.in:873: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross compiling configure.in:899: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross compiling /sw/arch/bin/autoheader: Symbol `SunOS' is not covered by /sw/common/share/autoconf/acconfig.h ./acconfig.h

(BTW, should I ignore the warnings?)

This is GNU autoconf-2.13 and GNU m4-1.4.  Whatever platform I try
(SunOS, OSF1, IRIX64, Linux), I get similar errors, with the
corresponding uname result substituted in the error message.

I searched the mail archives, but did not find a similar complaint.
(At least, not about a `uname` symbol.)

I am a complete novice when it comes to autoconf tools.  Is this a
problem with dx, or with our autoconf installation?

Should I have ignored the error and done the rest of the CVSMake
commands manually?  (They abort at autoheader because it returns 1.)

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards,
David
