Re: [B2-devel] AC_HEADER_STDC not exactly broken

Stephan,

Are you using the latest configure.ac from cvs?

The newer configure.ac in cvs have 'AC_EGREP_CPP(xyes,' and that fixed 
a bug where the utility yes was called in previous versions. You might 
experiment with the version of the configure.ac from the Darwin real 
mode patch I sent out to the list a few weeks back. There I have this 
quoted properly. For me the AC_EGREP_CPP and AC_HEADER_STDC tests both 
succeed with that version on both Darwin and FreeBSD. It is entirely 
possible that because the AC_HEADER_STDC test does not succeed other 
things break and __daddr_t_defined should have been defined or some 
such on your system.

Maybe you should run this particular test manually with the -E option 
and see what the preprocessor generates.

BTW, the mailing list archive on sf seems to have stopped archiving in 
early July. Does anybody know what is up with that?
