@bluescarni - thanks! We can assume sed
exists on all platforms. You should not edit the configure
script directly, but you can update it with:
autoconf configure.ac > configure
then commit the changes. I think it will add the comments that you had added in configure.ac
.
@astrofrog: I did indeed edit configure.ac
and then regenerated the configure
script, I was just wondering if the configure
script belongs to the repo since it gets generated from the source .ac (though I am not an autotools expert, not sure what the best practice is so feel free to ignore me :).
@bluescarni - ah yes, the configure script does belong here for now, since I don't want to assume that people have autotools installed. We could make it something that happens during the making of the source distribution, but enough people use it directly from the git repo that this is the easiest way to do it.
See #89.
Try to be more generic in the configure script when checking for funky gfortran compiler names.
@astrofrog Can we assume
sed
is available on all supported platforms? Could you check on OSX please? :)Also, not sure it is necessary to change the
configure
script, as it is generated from the .ac. But since it is included in the repo I thought I would change it as well.
