AM_WITH_REGEX macro

Apologies for this dumb question but I have difficulty understanding how the GNU Autotools work but reckon my understanding will improve with some pratical exercises. What I would like to do is to attempt to retrofit a check for '--with-regex' into an old version of diff. From what I have read

Recreating aclocal.m4

I see msgs such as XXX comes from an old Automake version. You should recreate aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again. Since I have just run aclocal prior to running automake, I'm a little puzzled by what I am being told. Am I correct in thinking that just running:- aclocal wil

Makefile.am for GNU ed

I've never written a Makefile.am file but would like to have a try... GNU ed seems like a relatively simple app, so I'd be interested in writing one for it. Can anyone suggest where I start? -- John

Automake docs

Is there a libtool list? Or can I ask libtool questions here? -- John

Autoconf 2.52g is released

I'm forwarding this announcement from the Autoconf list in the hope that any OS/2 users who have ever tried Autoconf, will give this one a test. The Autoconf developers are making an attempt to make it cross-platform so it ought to work on OS/2. So, please try it and report any problems. With

Rebuilding Makefile.in

I have just discovered that I can build the latest GNU GREP v2.4.2 on OS/2 without the need to amend any makefiles - although I do use an OS/2 specific version of AUTOCONF. When trying to build something like SED, the final binary is not created as an EXE file. The differences between the two ap

config.h

I'm not really sure where config.h falls into the scheme of building apps using AUTO(MAKE|CONF), but I've found that for PATCH to get built on OS/2, it requires this single addition to config.h:- #define strncasecmp strnicmp How would I go about getting this line included in config.h if... ch

Makefile.in

I'm not sure if this is the correct list to mention Makefile.in, but I will anyway... In the process of trying to build WGET v1.6 on OS/2, it was discovered that the GNU source compiled fine if:- exeext = @exeext@ was changed to:- exeext = @EXEEXT@ in src/Makefile.in Is the variable ex
