4 # MachTen users might need a fixed tr from ftp.tenon.com. This should

29 # Power MachTen is a real memory system and its standard malloc
30 # has been optimized for this. Using this malloc instead of Perl's
31 # malloc may result in significant memory savings.
34 # Configure doesn't know how to parse the nm output.
37 # Install in /usr/local by default
40 # At least on PowerMac, doubles must be aligned on 8 byte boundaries.
41 # I don't know if this is true for all MachTen systems, or how to
42 # determine this automatically.
45 # There appears to be a problem with perl's use of sigsetjmp and
46 # friends. Use setjmp and friends instead.
49 # MachTen always reports ony two links to directories, even if they
50 # contain subdirectories. Consequently, we use this variable to stop
51 # File::Find using the link count to determine whether there are
52 # subdirectories to be searched. This will generate a harmless message:
53 # Hmm...You had some extra variables I don't know about...I'll try to keep 'em.
54 # Propagating recommended variable dont_use_nlink
62 may fail since MachTen does not return a useful nlinks field to stat
65 At the end of Configure, you will see a harmless message
67 Hmm...You had some extra variables I don't know about...I'll try to keep 'em.
68 Propagating recommended variable dont_use_nlink
