[snip] The DJGPP port of autoconf 2.57 has a few patches, but is pretty close to stock autoconf 2.57. Tim van Holder got a lot of patches into autoconf, to support DJGPP. I got a couple small ones into autoconf CVS. I haven't tested autoconf CVS for a while, so it's possible it doesn't work too well now. Tim had a couple of patches that I haven't pushed into autoconf CVS - something to do with bison IIRC. But autoconf CVS (as of a month or two ago) should work fine on systems with long filenames. So configure scripts produced with autoconf 2.57 or later on Linux/Unix should mostly work out-of-the-box with DJGPP. Bye, Rich =] -- Richard Dawe [ http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/ ]
