In light of Bug 44601 being fixed and closed, does this issue make sense ?

Part of the fix for Bug 44601 was to be able to add other platforms with ease.

tested out by adding support for Solaris.

The presumption is that it will be one of the already supported compilers that will be
used.  clang is not supported at the moment.

I would say that this issue is not relevant anymore and should be closed.

Thanks markjreed for reporting this. - I hope was not just for fun, but because you intend to use Liberty on MacOS X or provide some kind of packaging.

Technically:
What are the concrete problems you are faced with? I don't directly see the benefit of using autoconf tools. - only the effort that someone of us has to learn how use them and ;-) Even in SmartEiffel times they were not used, if I remember correctly.

reported by markjreed as github issue #120: https://github.com/LibertyEiffel/Liberty/issues/120

Porting this back to any other platform (e.g. OS X, where the last release of SmartEiffel still installs fine) is going to be a major undertaking.
