[parisc-linux] was: mail-man; should be hyper-mail

[Witvliet, Hans]

Sorry,

My college confused two things; it's a problem with hypermail version 2.1.4
When starting with ./configure he gets: (manual copy)
checking host system type ... hppa1.1-unknown-linux-gnu
checking target system type.. hppa1.1-unknown-linux-gnu
checking build system type... hppa1.1-unknown-linux-gnu
....
.....
creating config.h

next he types: make, and gets:
building libtool
checking host system type .... invalid configuragtion:
''parisc-unknown-linux-gnu': machine 'parisc-unknown' not recognized.
..
make tables error 127
pcre/libpcre.a error 2
hypermail error 2

I see. The configure script doesn't "know" the system type
"hppa1.1-unknown-linux-gnu". Go get the Debian source package and use
that. In there, you can find the patches that were used to make the
thing compile correctly.

looks like out of date config.{sub,guess}.  as has been said elsewhere,
the debian packages have been updated with these things, but maybe
upstream hasn't.

Persons who feel the urge to build software locally rather than install
the lovely shiny Debian packages <plug /> would do well to at least
install the autotools-dev package.  Its purpose is to help developers
work around upstream sources that have out-of-date autoconf/libtool
helper files.

 autotools-dev: Update infrastructure for config.{guess,sub} files
 This package installs an up-to-date (from CVS) version of config.guess
 and config.sub, used by the automake and libtool packages.  It provides
 the canonical copy of those files for other packages as well.

Andrew.
