Hello AutoConf community, I’ve been attempting to get Acousto (the one and only open source Boundary-Element-Method acoustic simulator: http://acousto.sourceforge.net/index.php) to build on Mavericks (http://acousto.sourceforge.net/user_manual/html/UserManualse32.html#x61-87000F.3) I found that the configure.ac was very difficult to comprehend, and appears to contain logic errors. So I've spent the day attempting to rewrite it; I will paste my code below. However, I am a newcomer to autoconf, and my attempt is certainly not going to be optimal, definitely going to be buggy, and potentially may be fundamentally flawed in several places. Code is here: http://mathpad.wikidot.com/acousto-configure-ac I would be very grateful if someone in the community with experience would care to have a look through it and point out any glaring mistakes or better ways of doing things. The script specifies: #----------------------------------- # Check for supported OS #----------------------------------- AC_CANONICAL_HOST case $host in *linux*) ;; *solaris*) ;; *darwin*) ;; *cygwin*) ;; *) AC_MSG_ERROR([$host not supported]) ;; esac So it needs to run on these platforms, which may constrain the language that can be used. I hope this post is not inappropriate; the aim here is to bring some robustness to a valuable and unique open source project. π _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
