Hello,
some package I wrote uses pth to implement threads. Recently I
have upgraded autoconf, automake and libtool on my main develop-
ment system, a Solaris 2.6 box, and promptly ran into some trou-
ble with pth's autoconf support, i.e. the file pth.m4. Here is a
description of the problems:
1. The _AC_PTH_ERROR macro in pth.m4 did not work for me, the de-
fine for the symbol _ac_pth_line always lead to an m4 error. I
have removed the definition of _ac_pth_line entirely, and re-
placed the two occurences of the symbol by an appropriate
string constant.
2. automake does not like the variable PTH_LDFLAGS, which it has
no monopolized for its own use. I've replaced every occurence
of PTH_LDFLAGS in pth.m4 by PTH_Ldflags, which does not con-
flict with any naming conventions in automake, at least for
the time being.
With these modifications, pth can be used without further prob-
lems with autoconf-2.53, automake-1.6 and libtool-1.4.2.
Mit herzlichem Gruss
Andreas Mueller
