Marge Bot pushed to branch master at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 81d10134 by Cheng Shao at 2025-12-24T06:11:52-05:00 configure: remove dead code in configure scripts This patch removes dead code in our configure scripts, including: - Variables and auto-detected programs that are not used - autoconf functions that are not used, or export a variable that's not used - `AC_CHECK_HEADERS` invocations that don't have actual corresponding `HAVE_XXX_H` usage - Other dead code (e.g. stray `AC_DEFUN()`) Co-authored-by: Codex - - - - - 8 changed files: - configure.ac - libraries/ghc-internal/configure.ac - − m4/find_ghc_bootstrap_prog.m4 - − m4/fp_copy_shellvar.m4 - − m4/fp_prog_ld_flag.m4 - − m4/fp_prog_sort.m4 - m4/prep_target_file.m4 - rts/configure.ac Changes: ===================================== configure.ac ===================================== @@ -57,14 +57,10 @@ dnl ** which are needed by FP_SETUP_PROJECT_VERSION dnl ** Find find command (for Win32's benefit) FP_PROG_FIND -FP_PROG_SORT dnl ---------------------------------------------------------- FP_SETUP_PROJECT_VERSION -# Hmmm, we fix the RPM release number to 1 here...
