Re: [PATCH] Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
Hi Stefano, * Stefano Lattarini wrote on Thu, Mar 04, 2010 at 09:24:53PM CET: A simple cleanup patch. Some test scripts still explicitly unset the `TESTS' variable, but this is no more required, since `TESTS' is unset in the `defs' script starting at least from commit 40c3936593bd5fc35a13641ad031445d419e38bf (Mon Apr 6 2009), The attached patch fixes this minor wart. Thanks! Ralf

Sorry, but I'm not that smart :( I said that it seems to, since I just kept removing macros until AS stopped being defined. Maybe I put dnl on the wrong line and thus drew the wrong conclusion. Maybe I don't even need AS. Do you know if I can pass in the $(CCAS) that AM_PROG_AS sets according to the manual into dlltool's --as option? If CCAS is just set to gcc, will dlltool be able to handle that? Or is this getting just way too far off topic, and I should just try it myself or go to the binutils list?

Andreas If the wildcard doesn't match, I'm pretty sure you get some kind of error trying to find a file called *html.

No. But you could either ensure to always have at least one matching file, or combine wildcards with one of the other two methods. Cheers, Ralf

Sorry, but I'm not that smart :( Hey, not knowing or understanding third-party code bases is very much acceptable, and has little to do with being smart. On a more abstract note, it is never a problem to ask even basic questions on a list like this one, provided that you demonstrate a reasonable effort to find out yourself and are willing to learn; where reasonable can be very low for newbies; you're not that new here, are you. ;-) In this case, info Automake --index AM_PROG_AS could have helped you, and searching for AM_PROG_AS in the aclocal.m4 file of a package of yours that uses it could have provided a hint as well. I said that it seems to, since I just kept removing macros until AS stopped being defined. That sounds like a good, if somewhat expensive strategy to me. Maybe I don't even need AS. Do you know if I can pass in the $(CCAS) that AM_PROG_AS sets according to the manual into dlltool's --as option? If CCAS is just set to gcc, will dlltool be able to handle that? Or is this getting just way too far off topic, and I should just try it myself or go to the binutils list? I think dlltool --as really want's an assembler, not the compiler driver. But I only gathered that from looking at its manpage now. Cheers, Ralf
