Hello Ralf, On Fri, Jan 13, 2006 at 10:37:09AM +0100, Ralf Wildenhues wrote:* doc/install.texi (Defining Variables): Put `CONFIG_SHELL' in environment of `configure', not the command line....OK to apply?a quick answer: why is it necessary to have this? It seems that the problem could be fixed by inspecting the arguments before the echo tests, so that CONFIG_SHELL is set correctly. But I guess that there must be better solution: 1) cannot libtool use something like AS_DETECT_SUGGESTED if it is going to exec configure under a "better shell"? 2) or if the main purpose is to find out a good shell for the libtool scripts, perhaps the tests could be performed later...
On a slightly related note - the libtool configure script uses AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS to invoke the libltdl configure script. It seems to me the subdir script ought to be invoked with --no-reexec since the top level script has already gone to the trouble of selecting the best shell.
