bernhard, (r7757), notes: r7757 | bernhard | 2005-04-02 03:00:05 -0800 (Sat, 02 Apr 2005) | 4 lines Changed paths: M /trunk/MANIFEST A /trunk/config/auto/bc.pl M /trunk/config/auto/perldoc.pl M /trunk/lib/Parrot/Configure/RunSteps.pm Check for existence of 'bc', the basic calculator, on the system. When running tests for 'Parrot bc', I'd like to doublecheck with the standard 'bc'. so it seems he's using it for testing against parrot. perhaps there's some basic functionality that 'bc' shares in its many incarnations, including a method of detection that can be used reliably during configure. since i can't find 'Parrot bc', i'll wait for bernhard to weigh in. > Andy Dougherty [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~jerry
