Logged In: YES user_id=44345 Boosting this and at least provisionally assigning to Anthony since it's related to a change between 2.4.3 and 2.4.4c1. |

Logged In: YES user_id=29957 Ok, this revision is definitely the problem - it switched from using our own test to autoconf's AC_CHECK_FILE. This breaks things. Yay. :-/ Looking closer - we used to use our own test -e check. autoconf uses test -r. The attached patch reverses that fix, and changes back to our own test, using test -r instead. Can you please test this? Martin, can you check this out? I had to hand-edit the patch, because autoconf on this box spat out a vast number of extra pointless changes. |

Logged In: YES user_id=21627 The patch looks fine to me. Of course, the check result is still bogus for cross-compilation (so it doesn't, and really can't, "work"), as we cannot know whether /dev/something exists on the target machine. As for regenerating configure: it should work fine if you install a stock autoconf 2.59 (I typically have one in ~/ac259). If you happen to use a Debian-or-Redhat-modified one, regeneration will often include unrelated changes. As there really isn't a better way to deal with it, this should then also be forward-ported to 2.5 and 2.6. |

Logged In: YES user_id=29957 Yeah, this is the ubuntu version of autoconf, oh well. I don't have time right now to mess around with installing a new autoconf (it's late, and I have a release in the morning). Checked into release24-maint as r52358, will be part of 2.4.4 (and 2.5.1 and 2.6 when I forward-port it). Leaving open as a reminder. |
