>Description:
Checking for portability problems fails as follows:
$ make
...
===> configure-message [ja-vfxdvik-22.40v.j1.14nb9] ===> Configuring for ja-vfxdvik-22.40v.j1.14nb9
=> Checking for portability problems in extracted files
ERROR: [check-portability.awk] => Found test ... == ...:
ERROR: [check-portability.awk] libs/libwww/configure: if test "$ac_cv_func_remove" == yes ; then
Explanation:
===========================================================================
The "test" command, as well as the "[" command, are not required to know
the "==" operator. Only a few implementations like bash and some
versions of ksh support it.
When you run "test foo == foo" on a platform that does not support the
"==" operator, the result will be "false" instead of "true". This can
lead to unexpected behavior.
There are two ways to fix this error message. If the file that contains
the "test ==" is needed for building the package, you should create a
patch for it, replacing the "==" operator with "=". If the file is not
needed, add its name to the CHECK_PORTABILITY_SKIP variable in the
package Makefile.
===========================================================================
*** Error code 1
Stop.
