| configure is busted when building with HP's compiler. "cc -Ac" is ancient and broken, "cc -Aa" is too anal to compile it's own system headers, and "cc -Ae" breaks autoconf. The problem is the same one as outlined here: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12100 but in our case, it hits a whole lot of functions. (basically: AC_CHECK_FUNCS expands to code that ends up #including limits.h, which ends up including sys/time.h, which breaks all checks for the various time related bits.) The GCC people worked around it with their own version of the appropriate magic. |

| Logged In: YES user_id=29957 There's three ways we can fix this: 1. Hand-edit configure after running autoconf (yuk) 2. Run a CVS version of autoconf (yuk) 3. Supply an aclocal.m4 in the same way that the gcc guys used to fix the problem (a bit yuk). The aclocal fix would only be needed until the next release of autoconf is out. I've attached an aclocal.m4 that includes the GCC fix. Trying it here shows that it generates a "fixed" configure scipt - I've not yet logged onto the HP testdrive boxes to confirm it absolutely works, but it looks like the fixes I did by hand in order to get it to work. MvL, your thoughts? You seem to be the local autoconf guru... |
