I'm afraid I can't help you with that, but I can always ask annoying

questions: why the update to a release candidate?

The web site[1] left me more confused than I entered. The ‘file you

should download if you want to build the Hop stable [sic] version from

the sources’ is the even less stable-looking hop-3.1.0-pre1.tar.gz...

Kind regards,

Mainly because the existing (stable?) hop wasn't building correctly and

had mysteriously absent make targets.

The same thing happened to me! I noticed that hop version 3.1.x only

existed in the developer's git repository on GitHub[2], so I just got

the latest available source tarball from the FTP server.

I’m confident Bigloo itself doesn’t use the Autotools. Do you remember

why they were needed? (libgc uses them but I think we arrange not to

use the bundled libgc.)

Apart from that, if it builds, go for it!

Thanks,

Hop 3.x has been in the works for a couple of years but I think they

never put out a proper release.

So I think it’s OK to upgrade to this “RC”. (Even though I preferred

2.5 since 3.x is actually a JavaScript implementation…)

As for testing, I’d say that if the tests pass, that’s OK.

Thank you!

They were for one of the in-tree third-party packages. I've removed the

autotools packages from the inputs.

Thanks to both of you for the review. Changes pushed as
5e3ea571c5ac10858b2a1d6d3dc94a26408ae601 and
082725b5027a3782f242b634f94b9049d4c7f309!

P.S. The most recent Hop version is 3.1.0-pre2 as of today and the older
RC was removed from the FTP server. I updated the package definition
accordingly.

In the past, release tarballs have sometimes been removed or modified in

place.
