03:10:15 <jbk> oh autotools, never stop being terrible and inscruitable
08:18:52 <jperkin> tell me you haven't had to deal with other build systems without telling me you haven't had to deal with other build systems ;)
17:38:07 <jbk> that doesn't mean others aren't just as bad..
17:38:30 <jbk> but like mid-way through whatever it's doing, it seems to lose all knowledge of it's m4 macros
17:38:58 <jbk> and honestly, for what it's doing, it's likely using autotools to solve problems that haven't existed for 30+ years
17:41:22 <jbk> and then complains a file is missing, but I can't figure out what's supposed to generate that file
19:44:56 <jbk> the only other thing I can think of is that there's something buggy w/ the version of autoconf in omnios, though that seems unlikely
