Building automake on OS X 10.6 with autoconf-2.69 installed, I get a self-test failure:
FAIL: t/objc-megademo.sh Same results with automake-1.12.6 and 1.13.1 (and same as one of the ones reported in Bug #11618). The build process in t/objc-megademo.log looks normal, up until: ./t/objc-megademo.sh: line 344: 95507 Illegal instruction ./play > got from am-1.12.6 (am-1.13.1 is same except it's line 366). Running t/objc-megademo.dir/play from the command-line gives: [Hello C, world C] [Hello C , world C ] Illegal instruction That's all using the default 64-bit mode (-arch x86_64). If I force 32-bit mode (using "-arch i386" with all compiler calls), it still fails, but the command-line output is different: [Hello C, world C] [Hello C , world C ] objc[44708]: Hello_ObjC: Does not recognize selector forward:: Illegal instruction It passes on 10.7. I don't know much about objc, but can try any ideas to debug or solve that someone has. dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org
