Re: [E-devel] Re: edb won't compile...

[Malcolm S. <me...@uw...>]

I remember I was having this problem at one point. The configure.in
script is improperly written, but in a way that works in several older
versions of autofoo. I found this thread on an automake list, which
explains the problem pretty well.
<http://sources.redhat.com/ml/bug-automake/2002/msg02064.html>

Autofoo generates wrong code if the AC_PROG_CXX macro is placed in a
shell if statement.

I never figured out how to fix the edb configure.in; I think I commented
out that entire section of the file, as I didn't need the C++ wrappers.
