AC_CHECK_PROG and 'test -x'

2002-12-23 Thread Sander Niemeijer

libtool incompatible with current autoconf

2002-12-23 Thread Dan Kegel
I discovered to my chagrin that I cannot update kaffe from autoconf2.13 to autoconf2.53. In detail, the problem is that converting kaffe to use autoconf2.5x and then running configure causes the following error: configure: configuring in libltdl configure: running /bin/sh '../../kaffe-1.0.7/liblt
