Hi Daniel,
I tried out your script on a windows xp box with ActiveState Perl 5.6.1, but it
failed.
Basically, I run into 2 problems:
- Windows box does not have variable for pwd ( $ENV{PWD} ). Giving:
> Use of uninitialized value in split at autogen.pl line 22, <> line 3.
- Windows shell does not have command 'tee', giving error:
> 'tee' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program
or batch file.
The first problem was not serious and I was able to avoid it.
The second one was too tough for me as I am not very familiar with perl. Maybe you
could alter the output code so the script could be used on systems without 'tee'
command.
Cheers,
Jaak
