Hi,<br>
<br>
why is the tar-ustar paremeter used in <a href="http://configure.ac" target="_blank">configure.ac</a> <<a href="http://configure.ac" target="_blank">http://configure.ac</a>>?<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>
Occording to the automake Options documentation this ustar is only required for filenames longer than 99 characters. All files are shorter. Thus the default should be OK. The advantage is that without ustar it works also with older versions of automake. The rest is compatible.<br>

<br>
Isn't this necessary for long paths?<br>
If you go src/gmxlib/nonbonded/etc. you may get to 99<br>
But removing it and running make distcheck will tell us whether it works...</blockquote><div><br>Yes Axel and you are right. I misread the documentation and 99 is the limit for the whole path. Sorry.<br><br>I added a comment to the wiki saying on can remove this option in case one has an older automake and doesn't need "make dist".<br>
