| Description: |
The following patches were needed to cleanly generate a configure script using autoconf-2.53. The direct use of the LIBOBJS variable generates warnings, and the patches fix that by using the AC_LIBOBJ macros instead. The enclosed patch has the changes needed for tcl/unix/configure.in tcl/unix/tcl.m4 tk/unix/configure.in Thanks to everyone working on tcl and tk! | |||

Logged In: YES user_id=90858 Added most of the logic of this patch. I left out some of the changes that I saw no reason for. The HEAD now requires autoconf 2.57. nobody added on 2002-04-23 07:03:28: Logged In: NO

The "@&t@" bit is taken straight from the autoconf
documentation. It's a workaround for the use of
the LIBOBJS variable in the file. Look for the
"AC_LIBOBJ vs LIBOBJS" page in the autoconf
docs. This page (in the past) has had a problem
being accessed via info because the name of the
page was "AC_LIBOBJ vs. LIBOBJS", and the "."
character cause the info reader problems, so it may
be simpler to look at the texinfo source for
autoconf.
mdejong added on 2002-04-23 06:39:53: Logged In: YES user_id=90858 We can't use this patch until after Tcl 8.4 is released. The AC_LIBOBJ macro does not exist in autoconf 2.13. autoconf: Undefined macros: configure.in:188: AC_LIBOBJ([strstr]) I don't think it is worth our time to try to make things work with both 2.13 and 2.5X. Lets just stick to 2.13 for the 8.4 release and then go through the pain of upgrading in the CVS head. hobbs added on 2002-04-23 06:27:05: Logged In: YES

These look OK, except for what the heck is:
if test x"${LIB@&t@OBJS}" != x ; then
in unix/tcl.m4?
I assume this doesn't impair still using autoconf 2.13?
