[MiNT] GNU configure problems

[Guido Flohr <gufl0000@stud.uni-sb.de>]

Hi!

I've given a program that uses GNU configure scripts to about a 
dozen beta testers.  All except one can run "configure && make".

Why doesn't configure not work on his system?  It seems like
config.status (gets created by configure) is corrupted.  But
this seems particularly simple, config.status is created almost
entirely from here documents:

cat >config.status <<EOF
#!/bin/sh
# This is config.status, blabla, ...
...
# sed commands following:
s%@CFLAGS@%$CFLAGS%g
s%@CPPFLAGS@%$CPPFLAGS%g
s%@CXXFLAGS@%$CXXFLAGS%g
s%@DEFS@%$DEFS%g
...
EOF

I've often heard that people have difficulties running configure
scripts but I don't see a reason.  Well, that user has only
8 megs of RAM, could that be a reason?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Guido
