autoconf taking forever?
I'm working on making some changes to the top level configure.in and m4
has now been running for 17 minutes on a 1.4G tbird. Am I missing
something or is this know to take forever?
Thanks guys,
- Brandon

Something's broken. autoconf executes in about 3 seconds on my machine,
which is doubtless a lot slower than yours.

For me, the autoconf run is "instantaneous". Make sure you're using
Autoconf 2.13, and you don't have actual infinite loops in your code. Or
perhaps the problem is in OpenBSD's m4 (which I suspect you are using)?

I always found with new machines and configure scripts is if gethostname
does not resolve then the autoconfig will hang.
I would make sure your /etc/resolve.conf /etc/hosts , hostname domainname
are setup right and resolve from the command line.....man gethostbyname

I am running 2.13 (even on a clean checkout of 7.1.3) and the autoconf
takes forever. However, m4 is the process that's running forever, so I
have no doubs that the problem is there. What version do you use that
works? I'll try getting a new version... Any ideas where to look for a
solution though?

GNU m4 ... the version I have here is
$ m4 --version
GNU m4 1.4
