1. Status of 6.3.2 snapshot on alpha/Digital Unix

   Pedro J. Lobo <pjlobo@euitt.upm.es> — 1998-04-16T14:58:49Z

   Hi, all.
   
   I've just compiled the latest 6.3.2 snapshot on Digital Unix 3.2g using
   DEC's C compiler. The regression tests look good, so go ahead with the
   release (at least for this platform).
   
   However, there are two minor "errors". One of them is already known:
   configure fails when --with-compiler is specified. Included is a patch to
   the configure script. I know that this is not the right file to patch,
   since it is generated from configure.in, but we can use it as a workaround
   since the error lies in autoconf. The patch should be re-applied every
   time autoconf is run.
   
   The second "error" is a new one. The configure script no longer asks for
   additional include and lib directories, so, for example, it doesn't find
   my readline libs, installed under /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib.
   Since these are two common directories to have additional software
   installed into, I have added them to src/templates/alpha. Attached is a
   patch to make this change. It won't hurt even if the directories don't
   exist.

   We have new -with-includes -with-libraries options.

   	Any idea if a patch is possible for autoconf itself?

   	./configure --help should list both a '--with-includes=' and
   '--with-libraries=' option :)

   	I was just thinking about it, and wasn't the solution under
   Solaris to actually define CC=cc in that OSs template file..??
