Subject: Re: M4 tests
I'm trying to build and install M4 1.4.18 with PGI 16.5, but `make check`
crashes for me. I'm seeing thousands of lines that look like:
PGC-W-0116-Constant value out of range for signed short or char
(/blues/gpfs/home/software/spack-0.10.0/var/spack/stage/m4-1.4.18-zwtcbe4z66lx36aq7iuwsqbmz35a76
I think I figured out the problem. When I run `make -d`, I see problems like:
Prerequisite `m4/extern-inline.m4' is newer than target `aclocal.m4'.
Must remake target `aclocal.m4'.
Apparently it doesn't like the fact that I modified extern-inline.m4 more
recently than aclocal.m4. I have never ru
Something seems wrong here and it's not my version of Autotools. When I
download a fresh copy of M4 1.4.17, I am able to install it with GCC and Intel
without any trouble. The only problems I was having were with PGI. But with the
proposed patch, I am now unable to install M4 with GCC, Intel, or
ute it.
There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law.
I'm surprised that such a new version of Autotools is required. But I can give
it a shot.
