[Xastir-Dev] Current state of configure.ac for FreeBSD

[Jack Twilley]

Here's what happens when I run bootstrap in CVS as of five minutes ago:

bash-2.05b$ ./bootstrap.sh 
configure.ac:16: warning: do not use m4_patsubst: use patsubst or m4_bpatsubst
configure.ac:965: warning: do not use m4_regexp: use regexp or m4_bregexp
autoheader: `config.h.in' is updated
automake: configure.ac: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' must be used

I'm still not sure how to fix the first two, the third is pretty
normal, but the fourth?  It's in configure.ac but the documentation
for automake on my system doesn't mention configure.ac, just
configure.in -- that is probably the problem.

I look forward to basic house-cleaning on configure.ac (removal of
duplicates, etc.) once it's stable enough that people aren't going
insane with it.  I've also got a good way to track down the path of
binaries but that's a lower priority -- personally, I like the idea of
replacing binaries with libraries, but I recognize that that
preference is in the minority.

There's a whole lot of /sw/include, /sw/bin, and /sw/lib stuff that
should be abstracted -- I'm going to toy with prefixing the
appropriate search paths with /sw/foo variants, since I want to do the
same for FreeBSD with /usr/local/foo variants.  When I make it work
for FreeBSD, I'll make duplicate changes for MacOSX and advertise them
here for MacOSX people to test.  

Jack.
