[Doxygen-users] configure script

[Volker B. <boe...@we...>]

Hi,

the new configure version checks the output of the install tool for option
'--version' to decide if it is the gnu installer. More specific: The
string 'GNU' is expected in the output.

This works pretty for version 4.0:
  $ /usr/bin/install --version
  install (GNU fileutils) 4.0

But it doesn't work for the next version:
  $ install --version
  install (fileutils) 4.1

The only common string is 'fileutils'.
Configuration only works if use ./configure --install /usr/bin/install

BTW why don't you use autoconf?

Volker
