?X:
?X: The purpose of this unit is to define things that are common accross all
?X: known UNIX platforms. If Configure is ported/used on a non-UNIX
?X: environment, then some of the following variables can be redefined in hint
?X: files.
?X:
?MAKE:Unix _exe _a _o exe_ext lib_ext obj_ext path_sep \
	firstmakefile archobjs: Oldconfig
?MAKE:	-pick add $@ %<
?S:_exe:
?S:	This variable defines the extension used for executable files.
?S:	For unix it is empty.  Other possible values include '.exe'.
?S:.
?S:_a:
?S:	This variable defines the extension used for ordinary libraries.
?S:	For unix, it is '.a'.  The '.' is included.  Other possible
?S:	values include '.lib'.
?S:.
?S:_o:
?S:	This variable defines the extension used for object files.
?S:	For unix, it is '.o'.  The '.' is included.  Other possible
?S:	values include '.obj'.
?S:.
?S:firstmakefile:
?S:	This variable defines the first file searched by make.  On unix,
?S:	it is makefile (then Makefile).  On case-insensitive systems,
?S:	it might be something else.  This is only used to deal with
?S:	convoluted make depend tricks.
?S:.
?S:archobjs:
?S:	This variable defines any additional objects that must be linked
?S:	in with the program on this architecture.  On unix, it is usually
?S:	empty.  It is typically used to include emulations of unix calls
?S:	or other facilities.  For perl on OS/2, for example, this would
?S:	include os2/os2.obj.
?S:.
?X: Metaconfig's Obsolete symbol stuff is too over-eager.  In the
?X: perl sources, it picks up things like "P" and "FLOCK" that are
?X: not used in the way Metaconfig thinks they are.  Thus I can't
?X: just declare these obsolete and then run metaconfig -o.
?X: Instead, I'll just handle them here.
?X:	Sadly, history has conspired to give us a web of definitions;
?X:	this could have been much simpler.
?S:lib_ext:
?S:	This is an old synonym for _a.
?S:.
?S:exe_ext:
?S:	This is an old synonym for _exe.
?S:.
?S:obj_ext:
?S:	This is an old synonym for _o.
?S:.
?S:path_sep:
?S:	This is an old synonym for p_ in Head.U, the character
?S:	used to separate elements in the command shell search PATH.
?S:.
?LINT: change _a _exe _o p_
?INIT:: Trailing extension.  Override this in a hint file, if needed.
?INIT:: Extra object files, if any, needed on this platform.
?INIT:archobjs=''
: Define several unixisms.
: Hints files or command line option can be used to override them.
: The convoluted testing is in case hints files set either the old
: or the new name.
