RE: getopt and long switches

["Nordwall, Douglas J" <Nordwall@xxxxxxx>]

It does not seem to..the soalris, irix, and aix ones that I have all complain
bitterly about getopt. I _think_ I have a full set of glibc..I am not sure
though. I have been fighting this for a day or two. It'd be nice, when we are
all autoconf'd to have a --with-long-opts or something ;)

does it compile on other platforms that got glibc on them? I didn't seem to 
have any problem compiling the latest version at our solaris machines, but 
they got glibc installed, and I used gcc...

Anyway, I thought of this problem at first, but didn't run into it myself, 
long switches are useful....

it could be possible to disable long switches on anything else than linux, 
how about that?

best regards,

peter
