134136 - New ldap gmake build system launches Rational Quantify/Purify GUI tool on windows

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Stuart Parmenter]

With the new uh, "lovely," gmake build system, we now call 'hostinfo' on windows
which brings up a graphical tool (part of Rational's Quantify/Purify/etc).  This
is getting in the way when I do my builds.

windows is an application from rational

Apparently newer versions of autoconf try to run "hostinfo" from configure, and
those trigger the Rational GUI crud.  Bryner fixed this by regenerating
configure with an old autoconf and checking that in.  Thanks bryner!
