I normally build diffutils on a Tru64 UNIX system using the
vendor-supplied C compiler, which resembles the vendor-supplied C
compiler on VMS. (Then I hand-edit the resulting config.h for use on
VMS.) On Tru64, I ran into the previously reported "make check" failure
caused by the too-modern "export var=value" stuff in that "make" file.
After getting past that problem, I was stopped by not having the exactly
correct version (1.13a) of automake. Perhaps there's some simple
wark-around for that, but the error message I got did not lead me to it.
Is "make check" intended only for serious developers, or should any peon
expect to be able to make it work starting from a simple source kit?
Ignoring the lack of "make check" results, I tried to build the code
on VMS, making source changes like the now-familiar ones reported for
version 3.2 to deal with the VMS quirks, but I ran into one new problem:
The C macro HAVE_DECL_STRTOLL is still used in lib/strtoimax.c, but
seems to have disappeared from the Tru64-generated config.h. My fault
or yours?
