Subject: cygport injects unexpected parameter
Date: Wed, 10 May 2023 09:57:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <06d13c30-bde6-12ed-5c8d-4b38d1d40334@towo.net> (raw)

I'm trying to build xterm 380 and got two problems in the cygport 
compile step:

1.
*** ERROR: could not determine the autoconf version used to generate 
./configure; perhaps set AUTOCONF_VERSION?

I don't know why a tool wants to be told its own version (or what's 
going on) but the following line in xterm.cygport seems to help:
AUTOCONF_VERSION=$( autoconf --version | sed -e "s,.* ,," -e 1q )

2.
configure: error: unrecognized option: --docdir=/usr/share/doc/xterm

This seems to be injected by the cygconf function, and the package 
configure script does not know it.
