| 18 | | Building autoconf 2.61 requires perl with flock() support. See [wiki:dev-lang/perl]. Also, a recent version of [wiki:sys-devel/m4] (>= 1.4.7) is required. |
| 19 | | |
| 20 | | When these two requirements are fulfilled, autoconf builds without errors on BONE. Most tests fail however. This is due to a warning that perl emits: |
| 21 | | |
| 22 | | {{{ |
| 23 | | Can't ignore signal CHLD, forcing to default |
| 24 | | }}} |
| 25 | | |
| 26 | | What this means is explained in http://perldoc.perl.org/perl56delta.html |
| 27 | | |
| 28 | | A fix for this problem with cron is described in http://lists.jammed.com/owl-users/2003/01/0008.html |
| 29 | | |
| 30 | | As I understand it, the SIGCHLD signal should be set to SIG_DFL (default). However, it is set to SIG_IGN (ignore). Checking the POSIX standard, the default for SIGCHLD is to ignore. So it's basically correct. Still, Perl warns and consequently most autoconf tests fail. |
| 31 | | |
| 32 | | When suppressing the output of this warning (in Perl's perl.c), none of the tests fail. |
