Hi, Regenerating configure with version 2.63 gives me: -ac_cr=`echo X | tr X '\015'` +ac_cr='^M' I thought the echo + tr was more portable, and it also works better with various tools that adjust newlines (like SVN with certain props set). With the configure that has ^M I can't even svn diff, because: svn: File 'configure' has inconsistent newlines svn: Inconsistent line ending style Properties on 'configure': svn:executable cvs2svn:cvs-rev svn:keywords svn:eol-style Was there a problem with the echo+tr combination?
