Sorry for the abruptedly cut message - my keyboard is really upsetting me sending commands randomly :(

Sometimes, the configure script fails loading my config-site (which exists). This occurs only in some occasions and I can't understand why. Other configure files (for other projects, of course!) work without problems.

I'm using the latest PDKSH, but I never ran autoconf. This could be the main culprit (together with my ignorance about running autoconf, alas).

That said, it seems that a "normal" configure script often asks for some commands like "test", "builtin" and "function" which I don't have and should serve as tests for particular platform. I guess an autoconf run might solve all those problems - still, I have to learn how to use it.

I have also some strange problems in porting SDL or Qt applications, but those issues should be relatively easy to fix (type mismatches, some not found libraries and basically header files woes). I'll try to get my hands on the latest autoconf and learn to use it.

Thanks,
Mentore
