Sorry, it does not work, I don't think there is a way, however, the message Configure displays saying there must not be a builtin echo when really there is no echo.exe should be changed. It is probably not a high priority, but Configure could use a little update. For instance, it includes sys/file.h instead of fcntl.h when sys/file.h in only a dummy that call fcntl.h anyway: <sys/file.h> defines the O_* constants... and you have the 3 argument form of open(). Using <string.h> instead of <strings.h>. <sys/file.h> found. We'll be including <sys/file.h>. <fcntl.h> found. We don't need to include <fcntl.h> if we include <sys/file.h>. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes via RT" <perlbug-followup@perl.org> To: <stecmccarthy@hotpop.com> Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2005 7:25 AM Subject: Re: [perl #33948] configure checking echo > On Thu, Jan 27, 2005 at 05:45:04AM -0000, Stephen wrote: >> I am attempting to figure out how to tell Configure to use the builtin echo >> from the command line. > > Try -Decho=echo > >Thread Previous | Thread Next
