Hello, Recently (r10156) an invocation of AC_PROG_OBJC has been added to Valgrind's configure.in. This macro is causing trouble on older Linux distro's because older autoconf packages do not know this macro. However, as far as I can see none of Valgrind's makefiles are using the variables defined by this macro. Is it safe to remove this macro again from configure.in, or am I overlooking something ? Proposed patch: Index: configure.in =================================================================== --- configure.in (revision 10431) +++ configure.in (working copy) @@ -25,7 +25,6 @@ AM_PROG_CC_C_O AC_PROG_CPP AC_PROG_CXX -AC_PROG_OBJC AC_PROG_RANLIB # If no AR variable was specified, look up the name of the archiver. Otherwise Bart. |

This occurred on a RHEL / CentOS 4.4 system, which includes autoconf 2.59 and automake 1.9.2. >> However, as far as I can see none of Valgrind's makefiles are using >> the variables defined by this macro.
