configure
•Most apps use a GNU autoconf
script to evaluate the build OS to
determine which include files and
functions exist
•GNU autoconf assumes ld will
report unresolved externals which
does not happen by default on
MPE; to enable this:
– AUTOCONF=1 configure parms...
– or regenerate configure from
configure.in to get an MPE-specific
configure script
•Sometimes autoconf will guess
wrong, so perform a quick visual
sanity check of the output before
attempting your first compile
