Hi Michael, many thanks for the information. Actually, you were quicker than me ;) I worked with Bartosz on the issue yesterday, but needed to leave before I could finalize it.
I would appreciate if you could provide the "big patch" you wrote about. That will ensure that autotools is used in the best possible way :) Rainer On Tue, 2007-12-04 at 03:58 +0100, Michael Biebl wrote: > Hi, > > the latest NetBSD related commits (configure.ac/Makefile.am) break the > compilation on Linux.
