What if you want to deploy some package that does not need a C compiler on some system that lacks both a C compiler and GNU Make? You would have problems there for sure. Some number-crunching fortran-centric piece comes to mind, or some locked down financial system where a cobol compiler or something is present, but no C compiler.Is it possible to run baseline Autoconf configure without a working C compiler? Automake depends on Autoconf.
Hi Bob,You already know this, of course, but this is not about running Automake; this is about building projects that have Automake generated Makefile.in. You don't need Autoconf to accomplish this but only whatever is required for './configure && make' to work.
Thanks, Peter
