The first configure test...

[Angus Leeming]

Consider this patch:

 int lyx::mkdir(string const & pathname, unsigned long int mode)
 {
  // FIXME: why don't we have mode_t in lyx::mkdir prototype ??
+#ifdef _WIN32
+ return ::mkdir(pathname.c_str());
+#else
  return ::mkdir(pathname.c_str(), mode_t(mode));
+#endif
 }

I guess that configure should generate something like this for a macro
MKDIR_HAS_TWO_ARGUMENTS

#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/types.h>

int main() {
        int const success = mkdir("foo", 0777);
        return 0;
}

Is there an autotool-standard way to do this?
