I'm trying to implement a minimum version check for OCaml. Looking at various existing implementations of such checks (python, libxml2, etc...), I see all of them relying on executing a code fragment in the target language through AC_TRY_RUN, instead of standard shell code.
However, autoconf manual discourage such checks: "Avoid running test programs if possible, because this prevents people from configuring your package for cross-compiling." So, is there a reason for prefering target code here ? -- Guillaume Rousse Projet Estime, INRIA Domaine de Voluceau Rocquencourt - B.P. 105 78153 Le Chesnay Cedex - France _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
