Re: A couple of problems with new module code.

If so, has it been run (e.g., is there a config.log JJ> there)? Ah! That's gotta be the problem. Two questions: Why is there a configure.ac in there in the first place? And why is it 'AC_PREREQ(2.53)'? The reasons I asked those two questions are: a) There are a _lot_ of subdirectories in core and the _only_ place apart from toplevel that any configure scripts are is in the modules... ,----[ find ./ -regex "^.*configure\.\(ac\|in\)$" ] | ./configure.in | ./modules/ldap/configure.ac | ./modules/sample/external/configure.ac | ./modules/sample/internal/configure.ac | ./modules/postgresql/configure.ac | ./configure.ac `---- b) XEmacs' autoconf requirement is 2.13, we've got too much home grown magic voodoo chicken spells in our configure that give autoconf 2.5x bad indigestion... ,----[ ./configure.ac ] | AC_FATAL([ | | #### Autoconf 2.5x is not yet supported by XEmacs. | #### Our configure script is known *not* to work with these versions of | #### Autoconf. Please continue using Autoconf 2.13 for now. | ]) `---- I think the modules should be configured from the toplevel configure script, no?
