I'm trying to work my way through the external module building process, and I figured I'd start with one of the internal pike modules, to be built outside the tree. I copied the Math module someplace nice and ran this command:
pike -x module --source=.
and this is what I get:
$ cd /tmp/Math $ pike -x module --source=. autoheader WARNING: Using auxiliary files such as `acconfig.h', `config.h.bot' WARNING: and `config.h.top', to define templates for `config.h.in' WARNING: is deprecated and discouraged.

Obviously something is not right here, but I don't know enough about autoconf to know what might be the problem. I believe it has something to do with the aclocal.m4 in the include/pike directory, but I don't want to fiddle with that if I don't have to.
I'm testing on a solaris 7 box with autoconf 2.54 and gm4 1.4.
Any ideas?
Bill
Upgrade to autoconf 2.52.

Nope. Might be a good idea to add something like --configure-args='' for that purpose though...

While I'm at it, is there any way to specify configure arguments besides editing BUILD_BASE/specs?
