The user may need to use a specific pkg-config or pass custom</TT> <TT>arguments to it. Think multiarch or cross-compiling scenarios.</TT> <TT>2. Backticks (``) are supported by all shells while $() command</TT> <TT>substitution is for strictly POSIX conforming shells. We don't need to</TT> <TT>limit ourselves to that subset.</TT> </BLOCKQUOTE> There are 35 modules who are not using that line at all. Rather than making dead code more portable, this patch removes this statement. I have done extensive grepping and tested with make distcheck: acecad, aiptek, keyboard, mouse, vmmouse, ast, ati, chips, cirrus, dummy, fbdev, geode, i128, i740 neomagic, newport, nv, rendition, s3, s3virge, siliconmotion, sisusb suncg3, suncg6, suncg14, sunffb, sunleo, suntcx, tga, trident, tseng, v4l vmware, voodoo, wsfb I intend to apply this patch to all 35 of them. Other patches for the remainder modules will follow. The reference patch is from video-ati </BODY> </HTML>
