Re: autoconf port to z/OS

[James Tison]

Hello Werner,

I will approach IBM's Corporate Open Source Steering Committee with a
request for a disclaimer of rights. I have no idea, personally, how long
this process takes, so please be prepared to stay in touch for a while -
I've heard it's quite a long process. The Redbook project already went
through OSSC for clearance to distribute, so I'd imagine this won't be too
painful.

I will keep your e-mail address and keep you posted on progress.

(PS - I already belong to the address@hidden mailing list ... can I be
added to "bug"?)

Thank you,
--Jim--

Jim,


can you get a disclaimer from IBM so that your z/OS (OS/390) changes
to autoconf can be incorporated into autoconf?

autoconfers, the modified version 2.13 is available from

  http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zos/unix/redbook/index.html

z/OS contains enough peculiarities to make autoconf 2.53 fail
miserably...
