We have had no updates for autoconf/automake and berkleyDB in a while (and no progress listed under the dev.amigaworld.net site). Could all relevant people provide an update please (even if its just to say you havent had time to work/look at it).
I'm sorry for being that silent all the time, I'm VERY busy at the moment with a private project that hopefully result in some money when its done :)
However I have now checked both autoconf and automake. Both are HUGE Perl scripts (automake is 220kb plain perl code!) and will be generated from a bunch of *.m4 files (m4, sed, awk, bash are all required for build), and both are created with the usual "configure; make;" calls. During the lack of perl on AmigaOS4 I cannot test any further, but from what I have seen both automake and the autoconf scripts (there are actually 5 or 6 that make up autoconf) are using plain perl code only, I have not seen any special modules or other things that would stop them from running on a native perl installation.
I will update the according informations on the website l8er this evening. However I cannot take new jobs until end of february (the deadline for my private project), after this is done I'm free for usage again.
Regards,
OK, perl is (or will be apparently) available, we'll have to ask someone, to ask on the developers list as to when it will be available.
I have tried to make Perl work with clib2, but I have not had the time to finish it yet (if I can). If there is going to come a port (using ixemul) of Perl with the new SDK (when it is going to get released), am I not going to port it to clib2, as I have alot of things, that could use my spare time.
hnl_dk is working on abc-shell which has apparently come a long way and should be ready soon.
at the moment Andy Broad is working very hard on abc-shell (I don't have much time the rest of the month - should be better in the last half of next month).
m4 is already ported and on os4depot so its just sed and awk needed now (for autoconf/automake anyway).
Yes, my m4 port is on os4depot... there is a sed included in the SDK... and my port of awk is also on the SDK (I can release it to the public, if needed - but you are able to find it on the SDK), so there should be no problem with m4, awk and sed (I have not tested sed).
