[Gambas-devel] 64bit autoconf requirement

Hi Benoit,

The 64bits gambas  trunk uses a different autoconf as the 32bits version 
does.
It needs 2.61 to support the no-recursive flag, CentOS 5.1 and RedHat 
RHEL5 still have 2.59-12, this means gambas cannot be compiled on those 
platforms
without installing an unsupported package.

Otherwise you get this error while running ./reconf
/usr/bin/autoreconf: unrecognized option `--no-recursive'

I have:
[root at ...573... 64bits]# yum list installed|grep autoconf
autoconf.noarch                          2.59-12                
installed     

I then compiled and installed autoconf 2.61 manually to be able to 
provide you with debug info for gambas 64 bits.
Would be nice if the final release uses the old autoconf again to 
prevent compilation problems (if possible)

My ./configure run keeps failing with:

Any idea? Or local problem...

I'm running CentOS 5.1 x86_64
Q6600 Core2Duo Quad
gcc 4.1.2
Gambas 64bits rev 954

Ron.
