I try to mount my project on Autoconf.
it has very heterogeneous software parts, e.g.
(1) fat POSIX host (typically HOST=BUILD=`config.guess')
(2) ARM-based microcontroller without external memory
(I am used to build tools with arm-elf- prefix)
(3) little AVR appendices.
(2) and (3) are written

If your configure script detects GCC, then yes, your build system will
automatically follow the #include

Dirk,
I once thought as you did (albeit without quite so much volatility).
I've since come to realize that autoconf and the rest of the autotools
are really quite amazing.
The problem most people have with the autotools is that they exist at

You have made your point now would you please stop polluting this mailing list
with your unhelpful and unproductive postings. I'm sure you have better things
to do with your time than try and stir up trouble in the Autotools community.

Hi,
I've seen people reporting `configure' failures due to
"cannot compile sizeof (char)". Investigating the issue, it turned out
to be that, in a native compilation environment, the executable produced
by `AC_COMPUTE_INT' could not be run because some library specified in
`$LIBS' was not in `$LD

It is not useless, configure works quite well, when it doesn't it is a pain tho.
For the developer, no matter how you put it, it takes a huge effort to create

Maintain a configure script, and its so ugly.
