Upgrading apr to autoconf 2.50 and libtool 1.4
On 6 Jul 2001 MAILER-DAEMON@apache.org wrote:
Hi all.
I was asked to look into upgrading apr to use the most
recent stable releases of autoconf and libtool. I
am going to try to avoid discussion of the old
"should we upgrade" thing. I am just going to post
the patch that does it and let you folks sort it
out. I just wanted to point out that the new
autoconf represents years of work and finally makes
cross compiling bearable and explainable. Ok,
enough sales pitch, now for the patch.
I was not able to attach the patch because it is
too big for the mailing list. I am going to
append the bits that are needed and explain
what needs to be done by hand.
The other part of the patch is an update for the
build/buildcheck.sh file. I think I did this correctly
but I would like someone to take a look at it since
it is getting late :)

Now after the above macros are deleted you will need to
pull in the full text if the libtool.m4 macros file from
the libtool 1.4 install.
I suggest adding something like this after the divert
so that folks know where the libtool macros start.

Additionally to that, using autoconf 2.50 is not encouraged
as it still produces unportable shell code in some cases.
For details, refer to the mailing list archive of new-httpd.
In my humble opinion, we need to give it some time to
stabilize before upgrading.

Wouldn't this would require EVERY single APR developer to upgrade
to autoconf 2.50? Yuck. -- justin
