autoconf 2.57b: locking fails over NFS

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



[bug-autoconf@ has a stupid filter that doesn't let me through, so I'm
posting here instead.]

On some systems (eg. Linux) flock(2) does not work over network, but Perl
prefers that over fcntl(2) if it exists.  So autoconf may fail on NFS if
the filesystem has been mounted with locking enabled.
