No.

Slightly. I've attached the automatic replies. The first one
also contains the original message.

What is an MTA log and where can I find it?

- Unprocessed:
    I tried to use aclocal 1.9.6 on OS/2 and encountered the following
    problem: If using a drive letter for the installation path the $_
    variable (see below) will contain something like
    "c:/usr/share/aclocal-1.9/init.m4:AC_INIT_AUTOMAKE.....". This will
    obviously break when the split function is called because $file will
    be initializes to "c" and $macro to "/usr/share/aclocal-1.9/init.m4".
    Finally, init.m4 will not be considered as a file needed for aclocal.m4,
    and won't be included there. This means, AC_INIT_AUTOMAKE and all other
    standard macros won't be in aclocal.m4 and any call of automake will
    fail.
    I replaced split(/:/) by split (/(?<=3D\w\w):/) which will ignore the
    first
    colon if there aren't at least two characters before the colon. Maybe
    you'll find a better solution since I'm not a perl expert.

Hello!

I tried to use aclocal 1.9.6 on OS/2 and encountered the following
problem: If using a drive letter for the installation path the $_
variable (see below) will contain something like
"c:/usr/share/aclocal-1.9/init.m4:AC_INIT_AUTOMAKE.....". This will
obviously break when the split function is called because $file will
be initializes to "c" and $macro to "/usr/share/aclocal-1.9/init.m4".
Finally, init.m4 will not be considered as a file needed for aclocal.m4,
and won't be included there. This means, AC_INIT_AUTOMAKE and all other
standard macros won't be in aclocal.m4 and any call of automake will
fail.

I replaced split(/:/) by split (/(?<=3D\w\w):/) which will ignore the
first
colon if there aren't at least two characters before the colon. Maybe
you'll find a better solution since I'm not a perl expert.
