Here is an interesting little bug that I just ran into. I am running
autoconf out of the CVS.
~/project/tcljava/configure --with-kaffe=/home/mo/project/install/kaffe
--enable-jacl --with-jikes=/home/mo/project/build/jikes/src/jikes
...
creating ./config.status
./config.status: --enable-jacl: command not found
% head config.status
#! /bin/sh
# Generated automatically by configure.
# Run this file to recreate the current configuration.
# Compiler output produced by configure, useful for debugging
# configure, is in ./config.log if it exists.
configure=/home/mo/project/tcljava/configure
configure_args=--with-kaffe=/home/mo/project/install/kaffe --enable-jacl
--with-jikes=/home/mo/project/build/jikes/src/jikes
debug=false
me=`echo "$0" | sed -e 's,.*/,,'`
The problem seems to be that configure_args is getting written without
a "", and that is causing it to fail.
% ./config.status
./config.status: --enable-jacl: command not found
If I add the double quotes by hand, then config.status will work again.
