| Description: |
Tcl currently fails to build if the shell being used is bash 3.1: checking system version (for dynamic loading)... ./unix/configure: line 7654: syntax error near unexpected token `)' ./unix/configure: line 7654: ` OSF*)' Also, rebuilding the configure script after fixing the bug causing this doesn't work because current (and even rather outdate -- everything since 2.50) versions of autoconf don't acecpt manipulating the LIBOBJS variable directly. The patch I've attached fixes both issues. | |||

Logged In: YES user_id=72656 AC_DEFUN quoting done for 8.4.13 and head. dkf added on 2006-02-06 16:37:18: Logged In: YES user_id=79902 The quoting problem is already fixed; perhaps we should accelerate the next patch release to get this monkey off our back? The LIBOBJS issue is also already fixed on the HEAD. 8.4.* is (by policy) intended to have its configure run by autoconf 2.13, and not the 2.50+ series, but perhaps we should follow good style on the HEAD and quote the macro-name arg to every AC_DEFUN? Assigning to area maintainer for consideration. bero added on 2006-02-06 03:11:12: File Added - 166284: tcl-8.4.12-autoconf.patch | |||
