Yes and I've got also some problems with newer projects on some Linux Redhat 6.2 where there is a 1.3.5 libtool whereas newer seems to requier 1.4.2 >Configure (what's configure?

Let's be pragmatic, if makefiles works, use it. if ant build files could works, let use it. I'm like you and use exotic OS, OS/400, where autoconf/automake/libtool didn't works (yet ?). Each tool in java which could replace them is a big plus for me ;) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
