autoconf 2.54-1 writes dos files

autoconf 2.54-1 writes dos files

[Sam Steingold]

I just noticed that autoconf 2.54-1 writes configure files with DOS
CR/LF line ends!
what's up?!
I check "unix" in "default text file type" setup option and I do not
have any CRs in the configure.in files!

autoconf is a perl program.  There were some releases of perl that had a 
few issues with incorrectly using DOS line endings even on binary 
mounts.  Try upgrading perl to the most recent release (5.8.0-5 for 
"regular" cygwin; 5.8.1-something for "test" or "experimental" cygwin)

Does running, say

  $ PERLIO=raw autoconf

help at all?

No, I think not.  You replied to my message; with my e-mail address "attached"

This is a defficiency in (current?) Cygwin perl, which AFAIK, was fixed in the latest
release.  As a temporary fix, export the above variable in /etc/profile or system
wide (from within Windows).

Hmmm, this is strange.  Are you sure you used the perl from
perl-5.8.0-5 and you don't have another perl in /usr/local or
s.th. other weird?  Anyway I'll try to reproduce it now, after
I finished my Sunday Cygwin update.

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO *BE* A PERL HATER!  You see, in this world there's two
kinds of people, my friend: Those who love Perl, and those who learn to love
Perl.  You learn to love Perl.

 Hrm... Every scripting language has its advantages; currently I believe
Perl
has one advantage that has very much resemblance of the situation in the
operating systems market - no names necessary IMO.

My 'baby' is "REXX"
(regina on sourceforge is a GPL?/free variant. Check http://www.rexxla.org/)
I'll be playing with regina RSN(tm). It _compiles_ OOTB on cygwin.

1. I did love perl long ago, before I saw that it has brain-dead design.

   I am at the next stage now - I graduated to Lisp.

But it shouldn't be neccessary to avoid CR/LF line endings.

You have exactly the 5.8.0-5 release.  Really interesting.

I don't need to set PERLIO and get no CR/LF line endings.
Can you try if it makes a difference if you set CYGWIN in
your global environment like I do, though at least binmode
and ntsec are on by default?

Me neither. :-)
Apparently, I needed to reboot for the new perl installation to take
effect.  Yuk.

Ok.  But I'm sorry cannot reproduce it here.  I have also all binmode
mounts like you.

$ set | grep PERL

gives no output, so no PERL or PERLIO settings in my environment, see
also perl -V output below for my environment settings which may
influence these things.

though autoconf is newer, but I don't think that another autoconf makes
any difference:
