Hi,
So I kicked off a world build in OpenEmbedded with autoconf master as of
this morning. Of note is that Flex and Nasm are both failing in similar
ways with autoconf post-2.69:
nasm:
checking for uintptr_t... yes
./configure: line 6400: syntax error near unexpected token `do'
./configure: line 6400: `do :'
The code around here is:
6393 printf "%s\n" "#define uintptr_t $ac_type" >>confdefs.h
6394
6395 ac_type=
6396 fi
6397 rm -f core conftest.err conftest.$ac_objext conftest.$ac_ext
6398 test -z "$ac_type" && break
6399 done
6400 fi
6401
6402
6403
6404 # Check whether --enable-pdf-compression was given.
6405 if test ${enable_pdf_compression+y}
6406 then :
6407 enableval=$enable_pdf_compression;
6408 else
6409 enableval=yes
6410 fi
flex:
checking for strtol... yes
./configure: command substitution: line 16785: syntax error near
unexpected token `then'
./configure: command substitution: line 16785: `then :'
./configure: line 16777: = xyes
then :
cat >>confdefs.h <<_ACEOF
[pages of configure script]
The flex issue is worked around by picking this commit from flex git:
https://github.com/westes/flex/commit/c42de062bbdc7c31d7181c10a74202d493280ada
That refers to a mail sent to bug-autoconf in February 2018, with no reply:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2018-02/msg00005.html
Any thoughts?
Ross
