It doesn't depend on Perl. It is meant to be portable, and since bash is available on most *nix systems it only requires bash. On the other hand, if one decides to generate the configure script from the configure.ac, Makefile.am sources, one will use aclocal, automake, or autoreconf and these scripts are written in Perl. $ less /usr/bin/aclocal $ less /usr/bin/automake $ less /usr/bin/autoreconf A very good tutorial on autotools by Alexandre Duret-Lutz: http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~adl/dl/autotools.pdf SK -- Shakthi Kannan http://www.shakthimaan.com _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
