The problem lies in the fact that I'm developing the native components under
Solaris, and up to this point, I've never tried a port to Linux or other
OSes (my next attempt is a build on MacOS/X, and then Yellow Dog Linux for
PPC - Can you tell I work on Macintoshes now?).
I'm kinda biased towards not using autoconf/automake (mainly because I don't
know them), but they worked well in JServ (yes Jon, you convinced me!). If
someone with more experience could come up with something along those lines,
I'll be happy to include it, otherwise we might just use a nasty BASH
script, we don't have to filter out _that_ many calls outside the ANSI C
specification.
