Re: Autoconf (Was: LYNX-DEV Getting Problem in lynx2-6)

[Richard Levitte - VMS Whacker]

   I'm not a wizard of Makefiles, either, but there's been this nagging
   thought in my mind (suggested by Fote around September) that we need to
   redo the Lynx code base to support autoconfigure.  I looked at
   WWW/Library/Implementation/tcp.h and grew pale. 

autoconf is a great tool to make things more portable.  If autoconf 2
is to be used (which I suspect), VMS is going to be a problem for a little
while.  A port of autoconf 2 to VMS is underway, but not at all ready yet.
