Guys,
I am using autoconf 2.50 with libtool (both 1.4 and the CVS version),
and the latest automake, 1.4-p4 currently.
The project is lesstif.
My problem is that the subdir configurations won't happen because configure
bails out. I've tweaked configure a bit to get some output. Below are the
relevant parts.
To be totally honest, this only started to appear after a small patch
to libtool, but I suspect that this is not the problem.
I suspect problems with the line
$ac_cs_success || { (exit 1); exit 1; }
which seems to come from acgeneral.m4, in the AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_POST macro.
I don't have sufficient shell expertise to quickly debug this though,
I may obviously be mistaken too :-)
Does this point to an autoconf problem, as I suspect, or am I mistaken ?
Thanks,
Danny

# configure is writing to config.log, and then calls config.status.
# config.status does its own redirection, appending to config.log.
# Unfortunately, on DOS this fails, as config.log is still kept open
# by configure, so config.status won't be able to write to it; its
# output is simply discarded. So we exec the FD to /dev/null,
# effectively closing config.log, so it can be properly (re)opened and
# appended to by config.status. When coming back to configure, we
# need to make the FD available again.
