2003-12-11 Thread Dalibor Topic

The best way to speed up configure on Windows '98 is to upgrade to a newer version of Windows. :-) Quite seriously, Windows '98 is *terrible* at spawning subprocesses, particularly since it must constantly update the DOS window with the name of the currently running program. The only way to make

Brackets are not allowed in the filenames for the AC_CONFIG_FILES macro? AC_CONFIG_FILES( [Makefile] ) AC_CONFIG_FILES( doc/arson/Makefile ) Everything works when I take the brackets out. I hate tools that are picky about tabs, spaces, etc. :-) AC_CONFIG_FILES( Makefile ) AC_CONFIG_FILES( doc/arso
