Re: [Queue-developers] just "one" more question

[W. G. Krebs]

This is a bug in the ./configure script, or, in reality, in the GNU Autoconf 
program.

Queue_manager requires C++, so I had to add this to the configure.in setup.

Unfortunately, GNU Autoconf does not seem to work correctly with C++/g++ on 
some 
platforms, concluding that the C++ compiler is a cross-compiler.

I suppose we'll have to write the folks at autoconf to ask us for help with 
this 
problem, hence the CC line. [Note that queue-developers is spam-proofed by 
requiring subscriptions, so folks from bug-autoconf should just reply to the CC 
addresses. Thanks.]
