I thought I'd update the autoconf setup for xdiv to make it work on OS X. I did what I thought was needed, and managed to generate a non-working configure script. Where did I go wrong? Original tarball: http://math.berkeley.edu/~vojta/xdvi/xdvi-22.85.tar.gz Modified sources: http://www.schemamania.org/xdvi-22.85/ Full output of "nohup sh -x ../configure > log" is in http://www.schemamania.org/xdvi-22.85/build/log Changes so far: rename configure.in to configure.ac rename Makefile.in to Makefile.am rename aclocal.m4 to acinclude.m4 remove acinclude.h update configure.ac, Makefile.am, and acinclude.h (diff below) run aclocal, autoreconf, autoconf, and automake
Why not use xdvik which is part of the TeX Live distribution (the current version is 22.16 with latest xdvi changes from May 2009, i..e, newer than 22.85 from Paul Vojta), or at least use that as a guide how to proceed?
$ (autoconf --version; automake --version) | grep ^auto autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61 automake (GNU automake) 1.10
IMHO it makes no sense to base new work on such ancient versions. Regards Peter Breitenlohner <peb@xxxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
