Wow, how's that for being blind...
Sounds great, does not seem like I can hook them off in the toolchain
menu? Do we still have packages which does not use
Makefile.autotools.in, but still uses autotools before ./configure?
A fast grep gives the following packages:
package/avahi/avahi.mk: (cd $(AVAHI_DIR) && rm -rf config.cache && autoconf)
package/dbus-glib/dbus-glib.mk: (cd $(DBUS_GLIB_DIR); rm -rf config.cache; autoconf; \
package/dropbear/dropbear.mk: autoconf; \
package/gawk/gawk.mk: (cd $(GAWK_DIR); rm -rf config.cache; autoconf; \
package/metacity/metacity.mk: (cd $(METACITY_DIR); autoconf;)
package/netsnmp/netsnmp.mk: autoconf && \
package/openmotif/openmotif.mk: aclocal; automake --foreign --add-missing; autoconf; \
package/openmotif/openmotif.mk: aclocal; automake --foreign --add-missing; autoconf; \
package/rxvt/rxvt.mk: $(CONFIG_UPDATE) $(RXVT_DIR)/autoconf
package/x11r7/xapp_xman/xapp_xman.mk: autoconf -I$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/share/aclocal && \
package/x11r7/xdata_xcursor-themes/xdata_xcursor-themes.mk: autoconf -I $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/share/aclocal && \
package/ruby/ruby.mk: (cd $(RUBY_DIR); autoreconf)
