Hi!
There is this bug report
I would however like to make a suggestion: that the line
automatically prepended to files generated by configure - e.g.
"# Generated automatically from buildNewMakefile.in by configure."
is suppressed for files for which the first line is of the form
"#!"
I have configure generate a shell script called
buildNewMakefile from buildNewMakefile.in.
buildNewMakefile.in starts like this:
#! /bin/sh
# @configure_input@
#
# actual code here ...
The resulting buildNewMakefile looks like this:
# Generated automatically from buildNewMakefile.in by configure.
# ! /bin/sh
# Generated automatically from buildNewMakefile.in by configure.
#
# actual code here ...
When run on a Linux/Intel platform, the script runs correctly.
Under DEC OSF however, the script fails as /bin/sh is not
used to interpret the contents.
Well, bad luck, this ``Generated automatically'' first line is output
only when the filename matches *Makefile*. One way to solve is to
follow the suggestion above, but it means some additional code etc.
Can we just stop producing automatically this line? There is still
@configure_input@ which should be used to output this line.
