Why the fuck is building a ``configure'' and ``make'' so complex, /prog/?

Its quite simple, actually.
I routinely post code to the anoncoreutils project (and from what it looks like I'm one of two people doing so) without my leading comment block. The code is just the Coreutils code without comments and with some of the bloat down, then run through indent so that it won't look exactly the same.
After it starts up, I'll notify the FSF that "Anonymous" is attempting to violate the GPL, upon which the GPL dragons will fly free over the lands and destroy all.
These newfags trying to make anonymous posting into some type of religion are cancer. I for one really wish they would just leave and go fap off to their 12-year-old perceptions of freedom on some other gay forum.

Then it isn't the coreutils' code, because the latter is 100% bloat. Believe me, we'll know when you're submitting copypasta.
BTW, a lot of the Anoncoreutils development is being done IRL. There are 7 working on the project there. We don't release often, we accumulate first.

Still no pics. But I suspect there's someone trolling me here.

Ah, so you've read the coreutils. Which means you're violating GPL intentionally.

Wrong. Merely getting ideas from reading GPLd code does not mean that your implementation is a derivative of that code. It is your own implementation.
>>102
GPL is so viral that you can't read GPL'd code if you have ever coded in some other license, or plan to do so, because you may reimplement the *same* sources you read somewhere else and relicense it, violating the terms. In other words, YHBT

whatever, fuck the GPL, it's not as if they can go after -- oh wait, the authors are anonymous.

Then why am I allowed to write, publish and hold copyright on a story about a boy wizard that was (until recently), oppressed by his guardian. This boy wizard finds out about his heritage and subsequently joins a school of witchcraft and wizardry. It is not the idea that is copyrightable but the implementation of that idea.

What's the best way to write a program that simply returns 0?
there are things that can only be done sensibly in one way, and GNU's coreutils tend to go overboard with it (i.e. not the simplest way), so if anoncoreutils were to "steal" the coreutils code it would be pretty damn obvious.

Save that one for the i386 version. I meant portably.

Who cares? Anon can steal, copy or crack whatever software he wants. Why do we have /t/ and /rs/ in the first place? It's not like we have a name or anything.
It faster easier on a larger scale and with fewer defects than ever before You faggots fail Being C fags and Gentoo ricers all day LULZ AM I going to forget is how you got into programming bought a book AIMED AT 1ST YEAR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS WITH NO PROGRAMMING.
