Re: [HACKERS] autoconf taking forever?
I'm working on making some changes to the top level configure.in and m4 has now been running for 17 minutes on a 1.4G tbird. Am I missing something or is this know to take forever? For me, the autoconf run is instantaneous. Make sure you're using Autoconf 2.13, and you don't have actual infinite loops in your code. Or perhaps the problem is in OpenBSD's m4 (which I suspect you are using)? I am running 2.13 (even on a clean checkout of 7.1.3) and the autoconf takes forever. However, m4 is the process that's running forever, so I have no doubs that the problem is there. What version do you use that works? I'll try getting a new version... Any ideas where to look for a solution though? - Brandon c: 646-456-5455h: 201-798-4983 b. palmer, [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgp:crimelabs.net/bpalmer.pgp5 ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Something's broken. autoconf executes in about 3 seconds on my machine, which is doubtless a lot slower than yours. regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [HACKERS] autoconf taking forever?
I always found with new machines and configure scripts is if gethostname does not resolve then the autoconfig will hang. I would make sure your /etc/resolve.conf /etc/hosts , hostname domainname are setup right and resolve from the command line.man gethostbyname On Thu, 18 Oct 2001, Tom Lane wrote: Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2001 13:58:30 -0400 From: Tom Lane [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: bpalmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [HACKERS] autoconf taking forever? bpalmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I'm working on making some changes to the top level configure.in and m4 has now been running for 17 minutes on a 1.4G tbird.
