From a1c0ebc3ebc49924fa38dd4f60d89204208aacc8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: cypherpunks Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2016 16:15:42 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Use AM_PROG_AR to improve portability Turning on warnings in Automake makes it complain about not using the AM_PROG_AR macro. The AM_PROG_AR macro is required when LIBRARIES or LTLIBRARIES is used. The macro looks for an archiver and wraps it in the ar-lib script which is automatically generated so Git should ignore it. It makes the custom check for 'ar' obsolete so it is removed. The AM_PROG_AR macro was added in Automake 1.11.2 thus the minimum Automake version is increased. --- .gitignore | 1 + configure.ac | 5 +---- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/.gitignore b/.gitignore index dc6738c07..ef3517569 100644 --- a/.gitignore +++ b/.gitignore @@ -38,6 +38,7 @@ uptime-*.json /Makefile /Makefile.in /aclocal.m4 +/ar-lib /autom4te.cache /build-stamp /compile diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac index 130ec0964..44f7fe675 100644 --- a/configure.ac +++ b/configure.ac @@ -171,10 +171,7 @@ AC_ARG_ENABLE(libscrypt, AS_HELP_STRING(--disable-libscrypt, [do not attempt to use libscrypt])) dnl check for the correct "ar" when cross-compiling -AN_MAKEVAR([AR], [AC_PROG_AR]) -AN_PROGRAM([ar], [AC_PROG_AR]) -AC_DEFUN([AC_PROG_AR], [AC_CHECK_TOOL([AR], [ar], [ar])]) -AC_PROG_AR +AM_PROG_AR dnl Check whether the above macro has settled for a simply named tool even dnl though we're cross compiling.
