Absolutely not. One of the main reasons I ever post solutions on any forum is to get criticism. I've discovered that learning things about which I am totally ignorant is much easier than unlearning things that are wrong, and getting nitpicked when providing a solution is the best way to discover when I'm wrong. So the nitpicking is appreciated. >> Rename the file configure.ac, and modify the contents to be: >> >> AC_INIT([MultiSour], [0.8]) >> AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([src/app/SimpMSourSimu.cpp]) >> AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign]) >> AC_PROG_CXX >> AC_PROG_INSTALL > Strictly speaking, AC_PROG_INSTALL is redundant here, being already > AC_REQUIRE'd by AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (this should hold from Automake 1.4 > at least, I think). Yes, I thought the AC_PROG_INSTALL was unnecessary, but a quick perusal of the docs didn't show that immediately, so I left it in. >> LT_INIT > Also, I don't think this is required: he's just trying to build a > static library, so libtool is an overkill.

Is there any reason to avoid LT_INIT and use AC_PROG_RANLIB instead? I thought that AC_PROG_RANLIB was considered deprecated, so that LT_INIT would be preferred here. -- William Pursell
