Configure syntax error when building from 6.7.8-7 tarball

Post by cazfi »

Version 6.7.8-7 configure line 3665 reads:
MAGICK_SVN_VERSION=Unversioned directory

Whitespace causes configure to error out with:
directory: command not found

Looking configure.ac this seems to come from 'svnversion' command run while generating configure. Assignment seems to strip away non-numerical characters that follow numerical characters, but otherwise 'svnversion' output gets assigned as it is. I don't know what you'd want to get assigned in case of generating configure outside svn checkout.

Oh, environment where configure has been generated has been broken in more ways. It probably hadn't AX_LANG_COMPILER_MS macro, as it has not been expanded but written as such to configure (it has not been recognized as macro)

line 9755: AX_LANG_COMPILER_MS: command not found
