* acgeneral.m4: added support for DJGPP
- "test -f" should be replaced by "test -x" where the script
looks for an executable binary which will be called gcc.exe
etc. on DOS/Windows. A simple test for $COMSPEC being not
defined is suggested as a means to determine which option is
required. (You cannot use "test -x" on all systems because some
variants of Unix shell don't support -x.)
- File patterns used to distinguish between absolute and relative
file names need to be changed as follows:
/*) --> /*|[A-z]:/*)
[/$]* --> [/$]*/[A-z]:/*)
This is because absolute file names on DOS/Windows may include a
drive letter and a colon before the leading slash. Note that the
lower-case `z' in [A-z] is intentional, since some network
clients allow filesystems to be identified by the six letters
between the uppercase `Z' and lowercase `a', and because the
drive letter can come in either letter-case.
- The line which computes ac_file_inputs by replacing the colon in
foo:foo.in needs its two Sed commands to be swapped, because
once you put in the $ac_given_srcdir part, the colon after the
drive letter in it will be replaced instead of the original
colon.
From Eli Zarestskii.
* acspecific.m4: check opendir in libc before -ldir
gethosbyname/connect check in -lsocket also
From Tim Rice.
