In my case, I have got the following in configure.in (edited):
AC_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h src/defs.h)
LP="/dev/lp0"
AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(LPDEVICE, "$LP")
and in src/defs.h.in:
#undef LPDEVICE
This successfully replaces the #undef with
#define LPDEVICE "/dev/lp0"
but autoheader insists I add `#undef LPDEVICE' to acconfig.h, thereby
adding a `#undef LPDEVICE' to config.h.in which I do not want. It totally
ignores the fact that I have put this in src/defs.h.in. (Does autoheader
not check the other headers you specify with AC_CONFIG_HEADER? I have not
seen any mention of this in the documentation.)
Are we both talking about the same bug, as I am not sure that the problem
you describe is related?
I would have a look at the autoheader source, but I am still in the
process of learning C and could not be sure of the quality of any patches
that I would submit.
