Someone suggested that the reason why Autoconf/autom4te
fails has to do with a minor bug in the DJGPP Perl package;
and these people also claim to have the "fix" that corrects the
peculiar stalling / hanging problem...
Still, I have yet to see anyone post that patch/correction any
where.
What would also be nice is if someone would please take the
time to sit down and write out a nice little tutorial, step by step,
of how to use Autoconf/autom4te. Theres documentation that
comes with it sure, but it would be nice to have a "how to" or
"introduction to" with details such as what djgpp-packages are
needed to properly implement autoconf, which versions are
highly recommended, and downloaded from specifically which
ftp site, etc. Then everybody will be "on the same page" as it
were. And we can all discover how these new tools are supposed
to work.
Once such a tutorial is posted, and other people are able
to duplicate success with Autoconf, that tutorial can be expanded
upon and updated as time goes on, hopefully, to include any
other updates to this package, contributions to the same document
by various authors, in true gnu / djgpp style.
