5.25. M4-1.4.16

5.25.1. Installation of M4

Fix an incompatibility between this package and Glibc-2.17:

sed -i -e '/gets is a/d' lib/stdio.in.h

Prepare M4 for compilation:

./configure --prefix=/tools

Compile the package:

make

Compilation is now complete. As discussed earlier, running the test suite is not mandatory for the temporary tools here in this chapter. To run the M4 test suite anyway, issue the following command:

make check

Install the package:

make install
