Hi, New to this list. It seems the logic behind determining whether or not libc should be explicitly linked is backwards (in a generated configure script). The grep command in... (eval $archive_cmds 2\>\&1 \| grep \" -lc \" \>/dev/null 2\>\&1) 2>&5 ... returns a value of 1 if the string is not found. Looking a few lines down, you'll find... (exit $ac_status); ... which fails the condition test and turns on explicit linking. As one cannot assume grep has a -v option, I would think the 'archive_cmds_need_lc=no' and 'archive_cmds_need_lc=yes' statements are backwards. Does that make sense? Is this a problem with my logic or autoconf's logic? Thanks in advance, Rafael Rivera Jr. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
