Subject: maintcheck: remove 'sc_perl_syntax'
X-Git-Tag: v1.12.5~2
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b1a0ec539943d176a21b647c63a7d36921d63c13;p=thirdparty%2Fautomake.git

maintcheck: remove 'sc_perl_syntax'

It is quite useless, since a "make bootstrap" or "make check" would
immediately catch a breakage in the 'aclocal' or 'automake' scripts
anyway.  In addition, the recent removal of the 'perllibdir' environment
variable hack has broken this check.

* syntax-checks.mk (sc_perl_syntax): Remove.
(syntax_check_rules): No longer list it.
