Hi! Using autoconf 2.49a, I often found fi's glued to following commands. Obviously, a newline is missing. The cause is an ARG_WITH or ARG_ENABLE command with a dnl at its end - autoconf 2.13 seems to have generated a bogus newline, so that "everyone" removed it with a dnl. So either remove the dnl in ARG_WITH/ENABLE, or add a trailing ; to the fi - that way, no bogus newline is generated, and nothing is glued together. --snip-- --- /studi/kuhlmann/cvs-gnu/autoconf/acgeneral.m4 Mon Aug 7 14:33:18 2000 +++ /studi/kuhlmann/cvs-gnu/autoconf-local/acgeneral.m4 Sat Aug 12 18:22:10 2000 @@ -2048,7 +2077,7 @@ $3 m4_ifvanl([$4], [else $4])dnl -fi[]dnl +fi; []dnl ])# AC_ARG_ENABLE @@ -2076,7 +2105,7 @@ $3 m4_ifvanl([$4], [else $4])dnl -fi[]dnl +fi; []dnl ])# AC_ARG_WITH AU_DEFUN([AC_WITH], --snip-- This patch fixed all glueing problems for me.
