This would mean I'd need a new testdir, right? It did not work with manually applying that patch alone. I'll try getting a new testdir now.
Problem: I seem to need automake 1.11 but only have 1.8, and autoconf 2.62 but only have 2.59... I'll try to upgrade to 1.11.1 and 2.68 respectively. Oh well, autconf needs M4 1.4.6 and I have 1.4o, so need to upgrade this as well (I'll try 1.4.15) Meanwhile it'd be great if you could create me a new testdir Bye, Jojo -----Original Message----- From: Bruno Haible [mailto:br...@clisp.org] Sent: Friday, December 24, 2010 1:57 PM To: Joachim Schmitz Cc: bug-gnulib@gnu.org Subject: Re: HOST_NAME_MAX on HP-NonStop Joachim Schmitz wrote: > Good question.
