Ouch. That's not how I interpreted your output. Perhaps we should
rethink the output format.
definitely. That's part of the work I hope Hugh will do for us. ;-)
Yes, I'll do what I can but now I'm rather confused as to what has
reached concensus. My needs are met by any scheme which (a) can
express dependencies, which AS_IF already can do, and (b) allows
messages at the end. So it's really just (b) and documenting its
use with AS_IF. For (b) we have proposals for priority, which has been
proposed to a Signed quantity, so that messages can be ordered, and
now a list of priorities, which I don't fully understand.
We also have proposals about AC_MSG_ERROR and AC_NONFATAL to affect
where configure creates a config.status message. I think I'll need
to document which variables are to be included in such code, even if
the code is written after. The manual is for developers, after all.
For anything I write to be accepted it should fit with these
proposals because of your experiential knowledge.
Is there anything else that naturally falls into this area that I
shuld consider? I've not had chance to read the docs yet, thus I'm
not so close to producing something that changes would be a problem
:-)
Hugh
