Autotools on Ubuntu

0 votes
275 views

The last few times I used the autotools programs, I had to redirect input from /dev/null, or they would never finish.

I mean ./configure

long ago would run by itself. The same for the others. No longer. At least not for me.

So, if it's not just me, I'll probably post a bug in the appropriate place, but until then I thought I'd find out if other programmers using Ubuntu or Xubuntu are seeing this.

I have never seen this and I use the Autotools and their output on a daily basis. However, every configure script is different; Autoconf is a program that generates configure based on an input file - that is, it's effectively a programming language, so it's fairly meaningless to talk about a configure script failing without saying which one.

Note that not all scripts that are called "configure" are actually generated by Autoconf. The ones with anomalous behaviour like this generally aren't.
