Hi Pavel,
Initial testing is NOT going well.
On the Solaris 8 box that I am testing on the make check failed with a missing
automake and a missing makeinfo. I installed automake 1.4 and a dummy makeinfo.
I have a:
tools.m4:164 ignored near `tools.m4:183'
I'm not sure what to do with the ignored as I got some on my Linux box as well.
I also tried on a QNX box (our torture test box for building our products)
The configure script bombs out while creating config.status with a message
sed: 2:
/^X\(.*^/\)\/\/*^ ...": RE error: parentheses not balanced
So it looks like we need some work on the RE's for a bad sed :(
What else would you like to know - we don't have the native cc in house
just the brain dead /usr/ucb one.
I also have other boxes if need be.
Regards
David
