This means that it is not possible to lift the - relevant sections out of it for the configure of the - binding. - - Also this configure is not exactly autoconf based (Seems so). - One of the things it has to be told is the target/build architecture, - as argument instead of via option. Because of this we cannot use - AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS to run the sub-configure. - - We do it directly, and are thus also able to avoid the symlink - we had to have in libjpeg/tcl. - -(2) The tif sources have usage of tdarg.h hardwired into them. - This means that a compiler not using this header, but varargs.h - cannot be used. This is checked in configure. |
