Should be configure.ac - which lists the tests that autoconf should put
into the configure script. Comment out AC_FUNC_SETPGRP in that file.

This setpgrp test, while being one of autoconf's standard tests, does
not work in cross-compiling environments. I will have to replace it with
an equivalent test that also works when cross-compiling.

I created a Trac bug report on procServ's Sourceforge project for this.
[1] Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
If you compile procServ within an EPICS project, you can use that
project's configuration instead of using autoconf. See `configure
--help` (option "--with-epics-top") for details.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

Hi Dirk,
1) Export the following before running configure.  Value (yes/no)
depending on your environment.
export ac_cv_func_setpgrp_void=yes
2) Comment out the test in configure.in and run 'autoreconf'.

Hi Michael
There is no configure.in, only configure.ac and configure.
There are Makefile.in and Makefile.Epics.in. Does that help?

Subject: How to cross compile procServ?
When trying to cross compile, the configure script fails with:
checking whether setpgrp takes no argument... configure: error: cannot
check setpgrp when cross compiling
How can I cross compile procServ (for embedded Linux) ?
