textutils-2.0/m4/jm-macros.m4 requires unrelease autoconf-2.14.1

2001-02-05 Thread Adam J. Richter
AC_PREREQ(2.14.1) from textutils-2.0/m4/jm-macros.m4, but I thought I should point this out so that you can resolve it in the your releases, presumably either with a new release of textutils that does not require autoconf 2.14.1 or with a release of autoconf 2.14.1 or newer. Adam J. Richter

e many of your macros generate warnings or even abort if they are called more than once and many user macros may have undesired side effects and, of course, will result in slower ./configure run time if they are called more than once, making use of autoconf less desirable in comparison to

if you do not work around the problem. The workaround is not only very simple; it's also an improvement. ASM_xxx is more mnemonic than AS_x and more consistent with other flags related to assember issues in gcc. So, I would still recommend that you apply my patch. Adam J. Richter
