Hello.
I was hoping a change could be made to the "configure.in" files of XFS
package. Right now "configure" looks for each needed tool in a staticlocation.
For most people this isn't an issue, but if you reinstall
most of the GNU tools from source they install into /usr/local which
isn't normally a problem. Therefore, I'd ask that the AC_PATH_PROG lines
have an expanded path. You can either just add /usr/local/bin, or be
even more forgiving and drop "$PATH" into the mix. Here's an example
of the modification for DMAPI configure.in line 123:
AC_PATH_PROG(LIBTOOL, libtool,,/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH)
If nothing else, this mod doesn't hurt anything and will keep users
from complaining that they can't find libtool... "BUT I HAVE LIBTOOL!?!?!
I'M NOT CRAZY!!!!".
I can submit patches for the changes if you like. Just let me know and
I'll submit the patches to the list.
I'm a _HUGE_ fan of XFS. It just keeps getting better and better, you guys
are doing an awsome job!
Thank You.
benr.
