Hi!
I'm trying to crossmake a "small" snmp agent using the net-snmp package
(cross to ARM that is).
In order to make it "small" I'm using the uClibc C-library.
This works OK, i.e it compiles and links (I haven't tested it yet).
But, when configuring the net-snmp package the autoconf tools

I think there are valid points to both the 'tools don't clean up after
themselves' and the 'autoconf and automake shouldn't be in lockstep'
arguments.
IMO autoconf will make life easier for both automake and non-automake
users by providing a clean capability of it's own. That in itself should

bad (there's been no good come out of mashing automake into autoconf).

That's not exactly a horrible failure mode. People can just add it to

Hi,
It appears that AC_PATH_PROG has changed behaviour between 2.13 and 2.5x.
If the following configure.in file is processed with autoconf 2.13,
all three calls correctly find "ls"
AC_INIT
AC_PATH_PROG(LS1,ls,no)
echo "LS=$LS1"
AC_PATH_PROG(LS2,ls,no,$PATH)
echo "LS=$LS2
14 matches
