[jira] Commented: (HDFS-1619) Does libhdfs really need to depend on
AC_TYPE_INT16_T, AC_TYPE_INT32_T, AC_TYPE_INT64_T and AC_TYPE_UINT16_T ?
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1619?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12992872#comment-12992872 ]
Allen Wittenauer commented on HDFS-1619:
----------------------------------------
Given that CentOS/RHEL 5.5 doesn't ship with a working Java, I don't see the issue with requiring a newer autoconf toolset.

> Currently configure.ac uses AC_TYPE_INT16_T, AC_TYPE_INT32_T, AC_TYPE_INT64_T and AC_TYPE_UINT16_T and thus requires autoconf 2.61 or higher.
> This prevents using it on such platforms as CentOS/RHEL 5.4 and 5.5. Given that those are pretty popular and also given that it is really difficult to find a platform
> these days that doesn't natively define intXX_t types I'm curious as to whether we can simply remove those macros or perhaps fail ONLY if we happen to be on such
> a platform.
