The following line in m4-1.4.14/build-aux/git-version-gen causes a build failure on z/OS (EBCDIC codeset): # Omit the trailing newline, so that m4_esyscmd can use the result directly. echo "$v" | tr -d '\012' Octal 12 does not represent new line in EBCDIC. Is there a reason that this can't be: # Omit the trailing newline, so that m4_esyscmd can use the result directly. echo "$v" | tr -d '\n' Regards, --Steve Goetze _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
