[Asterisk-Dev] Problem with asterisk/codecs/gsm/Makefile asterisk/codecs/mp3

[Chris Albertson]

No, read it again.  I didn't say "Please do this."  I asked
if there was a reason not to do it.  Reason I asked is because
some developers think auto tools to complex and would rather
write portable makefiles by hand.    

I was thinking of doing the conversion to auto tools myself
but would only atempt it if the result would be accepted into
CVS. 

There is another small open source project where I did this
and the main author, not understanding how auto tools works
didn't want it.  Now we have a code fork with two versions
of the same code base.

There is a good reason to use autoconf.  Aside from portibility.
For example, while reading the SIP stuff I found a _run time_
check for the existance of a /proc file system.  Maybe better
to move this kind of stuff to the configure script.  But the first
step is just to see if there is resistance to this kind of stuff.
