Re: $CPP is not gcc

| Hi There, Hi! | autoconf picks "gcc" as the compiler and "cc -E" as the preprocessor | when I do not specify CC or CPP. Could you try to track down the problem, I cannot reproduce it: /tmp % cat configure.in nostromo 14:06 AC_INIT AC_PROG_CC AC_PROG_

[Qs] about AC_PACKAGE

2000-05-11 Thread Didier Verna
1/ It is not documented. Is it intentional or just an ommision ? 2/ AC_PACKAGE_BUGREPORT is not used anywhere. Same question. Maybe it's supposed to go in --help or --version ? -- / / _ _ Didier Vernahttp://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ /EPITA / LRDE

[Q] before AC_INIT

2000-05-11 Thread Didier Verna
Hi! Would it be possible for autoconf to load the site and local macro files (like aclocal.m4) *before* the call to AC_INIT ? There are times when you want to call your own macros before AC_INIT (I know what I'm doing), and this is not currently possible without m4_includ

Removing old testsuite

2000-05-11 Thread Pavel Roskin
Hello! How about removing the old testsuite? It is not used anywhere. "make dist" will not include it into the distribution. In order to remove a directory from CVS you need to remove all the files in the directory. After that "cvs update -P" will delete empty directories on the client side. No
