Additionally the automake wrapper has been updated to the latest upstream version 15 (with some modifications for Cygwin). GNU Autoconf is an extensible package of m4 macros that produce shell scripts to automatically configure software source code packages. These scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of UNIX-like systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf creates a configuration script for a package from a template file that lists the operating system features that the package can use, in the form of m4 macro calls. Multiple versions of Autoconf can be installed at the same time -- the autoconf wrapper choses among them. Cygwin Packaging Notes ====================== Autoconf upstream has stated that the 2.7x releases are not fully backwards compatible. Cygwin therefore chose to provide a new autoconf2.7 package (keeping autoconf2.5 available) and modifying the wrapper script to allow packaging systems to set WANT_AUTOCONF=2.7 to select a newer autoconf version. The default (when no explicit WANT_AUTOCONF is set) is still "2.5", which selects autoconf version 2.69 on Cygwin. The default will change to "2.7" after some period of testing. Cygwin package maintainers are encouraged to set WANT_AUTOCONF=2.7 in their cygport configuration or in individual cygport files in order to check for regressions. -- *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
