Which was a fix for bug 1185: https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1185 The patch for that bug added an AC_CANONICAL_BUILD call between an AC_CANONICAL_HOST call and an AC_CANONICAL_TARGET call; the change in question, however, added a commented-out AC_CANONICAL_BUILD and also commented out the existing AC_CANONICAL_HOST, and added the comment from the autoconf documentation: dnl The user is encouraged to use either `AC_CANONICAL_BUILD', or dnl `AC_CANONICAL_HOST', or `AC_CANONICAL_TARGET', depending on the dnl needs. Using `AC_CANONICAL_TARGET' is enough to run the two other dnl macros. In revision 19752, the AC_CANONICAL_ calls were after the AC_INIT call. The "Have autoconf generate "ustar" tar files by default. This should let us have paths longer than 99 characters." change was the one that moved them before the AC_INIT call. Gerald? Why was that move done? ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
