There's also an OS X oddity to be aware of, though I'm not sure whether it's worth mentioning in the FAQ. On OS X 10.6, the system autoconf (/usr/bin/autoconf) *appears* at first sight to be autoconf 2.61 (e.g., using autoconf --version), but has actually been modified slightly by Apple: it produces a whole bunch of -rm -f conftest* +rm -f -r conftest* differences in the generated configure file. I don't know how much this really matters---it can make checkins look a bit confusing at times but seems otherwise harmless. But I've been sticking to GNU autoconf 2.61 and avoiding the Apple version for this reason. Nitpick: Various occurrences of 2.6.1 in the above should probably be 2.61. ---------- nosy: +mark.dickinson _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7997> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
