Now let me indulge in > Schadenfreude :-) If I remember correctly everybody agreed that autoconf is least evil of the whole autotools package. pasky suggested to write ./configure script by hand on #git... I'm trying to do inobtrusive _optional_ autoconf support in the patch series beginning with Message-ID: <200606290301.51657.jnareb@gmail.com> http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/22832 Please wait for the patch moving ./autoconf output away from config.mak (as some people here requested), and do contribute! My autoconf/m4 experience is nonexistent (I'm learning it as I go). See comments in the third [PATCH/RFC] in series. BTW. patches are against master. -- Jakub Narebski Warsaw, Poland ShadeHawk on #git
