I still owe you large quantities of beer. However, in order to clarify, I
would like to be able to execute configure script shell script code (more
like a configure test) and not generate a new configure script just because
the version has changed.
As further clarification of "execute configure script shell code",
this is how I execute an exernal script at the moment to obtain
package version (as well as shared library versioning).
AC_INIT(magick/magick.h)
. ${srcdir}/version.sh
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE($PACKAGE_NAME,"${PACKAGE_VERSION}${PACKAGE_VERSION_ADDENDUM}",
' ')
The package name, version, tarball naming, and shared library
versioning information all come from this external script. All
working fine since late 2002.
