It's been pointed out to me that the English of my message may be
inappropriate. I have not intended to annoy anyone, and would like
to apologize if it was understood that way; keep in mind I am not a
native speaker. Please read above as
So the bottom line is that it is advantageous to always use this new
notation if dealing with Autoconf 2.50+ generated scripts, as then
configure can record this information easily; it will be easier for you
to recreate the same configuration later.
To give another useful example of this, happened to me yesterday:
I updated a software package that uses a 2.13-generated configure
script. I kept the build tree from the installation from more than 2.5
years ago, to be able to easily recreate a new build with identical
features. It needed a couple of environment variables for this.
Would this package use Autoconf-2.50+, it would have sufficed to keep
the config.status file, and a simple
./config.status --version
would have told me all that I needed. (Except that the upgrade broke
some unrelated features anyway..)
Cheers,
Ralf
