--- Comment #8 from Rostislav Krasny <rostiprodev at gmail dot com> --- Created attachment 15596 --> https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=15596&action=edit patch Please try this patch. It has changes in the configure.ac file only. The generated configure script is also stored in Git repository but it is usually updated by a separate commit, so it's not part of this patch and should be generated separately. I tested it with locally built autoconf 2.69 using "~/local/autoconf-2.69/bin/autoreconf -i" command. Difference between the newly generated configure script and its version in the master branch was an addition of the embedded shell code only. Additionally I made yet another temporary commit (not part of this patch) and tested generation of the bfd/version.h with "./src-release.sh binutils" command that calls the configure script internally. Anyone who don't use releases and build directly from Git repo also run this script, so it should work for them as well. A few words how I made it. I'm not familiar with the autoconf, so I asked ChatGPT how can I add an embedded shell code into the generated configure script. It suggested to use either AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE or AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS and it forgot about AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_POST. I decided to use AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE, i.e. the bfd/version.h file is generated by the configure script at the very beginning. Hope this decision was right. I use current format of the BFD_VERSION_DATE for compatibility but I suggest to change it in a future to something more precise. The change should be done in the "--date=format:%Y%m%d" part of the git log command, according to strftime(3) I also changed the first sentence of the comment in the now generated the bfd/version.h, so please check my English too. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
