Digital Unix 4.0f and the latest development version of zsh

[Jeremie Petit]

Hello,

  I can't configure the latest development version of zsh on my Tru64
machine:

creating cache ./config.cache
configuring for zsh 3.1.6-dev-19
checking host system type... Invalid configuration `alphaev6-dec-osf4.0f':
machine `alphaev6-dec' not recognized

...

checking for yp_all... yes
./configure: test: argument expected

  It seems that it comes from config.sub. I've replaced it with
xemacs-21.1.9's and it 

  Thanks!

a better solution  is to regenerate the config.sub with :

libtoolize --force

                                  --Chmouel

Official CVS repository for autoconf is

http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/autoconf/?cvsroot=autoconf

They may have development tags. At least ntpd comes with pre-release version
of CVS (2.14a if I'm not mistaken). This version recognizes alphaev6.

I believe, Ben Elliston (mailto:bje@cygnus.com) is source keeper.

(... works?)


Yes, out config.sub didn't test for alphaev6 yet. The patch below
should fix it, I think. Maybe we should just get a new config.sub from 
somewhere else (there surely is some official place for that?), in
case there are other new machines/OSes/versions we currently can't
handle?
