openssh bugs - Oct 2009 - [Bug 1658] New: configure.ac AC_TRY_COMPILE() causes failure with autoconf-2.64

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1658

           Summary: configure.ac AC_TRY_COMPILE() causes failure with
                    autoconf-2.64
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 5.2p1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Build system
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: vapier at gentoo.org


a change in autoconf processing results in shell errors if the fourth
arg is empty.  simple workaround is to do:
-   [ sp_expire_available=yes ], []
+   [ sp_expire_available=yes ], [:]

ive talked to upstream autoconf about getting this fixed, but it'll be
a while before that happens, and the workaround in openssh is trivial.

Thanks, but we only support the version of autoconf that is used for
our releases (2.61 for the most part, we used 2.62 for the 5.3p1
release but that's known to cause problems on some platforms so we're
going back to 2.61).

Our configure is hairy enough already that we're not going to add
hackage to work around autoconf bugs.
