Re: How can Autoconf help with the transition to stricter compilation defaults?

rocessor logic and knowledge of compiler-specific behavior. If Autoconf is able to help, then the convoluted code can be in just one place (in Autoconf). Bob -- Bob Friesenhahn bfrie...@simple.dallas.tx.us, http://www.simplesystems.org/users/bfriesen/ GraphicsMagick Maintainer,h

Re: portability of 'printf' command

t is useful that Autoconf (at least) still be prepared to work on very old bare systems even if many applications don't care to support old systems.

Re: portability of 'printf' command

. SunOS 4 probably didn't have printf. Even those of us with failing memories will recall that on some systems (probably including older Solaris), the printf was liable to drop core at the slightest inclination. Bob -- Bob Friesenhahn bfrie...@simple.dallas.tx.us, http://www.simplesy
