Re: We need to get rid of configure.ac stub

My autoconf doesn't do this, and I haven't heard of anyone else's autoconf doing it either. It sounds to me like this is "cygwin hackery". On the surface, what cygwin has done is a pretty good idea and would work well in most situations and for most normal projects. But XEmacs is _far_ from what I'd call a "normal" project. Deleting configure.ac will hurt a lot more people than it will benefit. Is that "protesty" enough? Ben, if I were in your shoes, I'd delete that wrapper, symlink (or alias) "autoconf" to the version I use most often, and then carry on as normal. And, just out of curiosity, what does this cygwin autoconf wrapper do when faced with a configure.in that is for autoconf 2.5x only? I've come across plenty of those. -- |---<Steve Youngs>---------------<GnuPG KeyID: A94B3003>---| | XEmacs - The only _______ you'll ever need. | | Fill in the blank, yes, it's THAT good! | |----------------------------------&lt;steve(a)youngs.au.com&gt;---|
