Hi, In the newest autoconf 2.66, AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS warns when it is invoked with more than one directory. But this way of invoking it is supported, see the doc:
-- Macro: AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS (DIR ...) Make `AC_OUTPUT' run `configure' in each subdirectory DIR in the given blank-or-newline-separated list. Each DIR should be a literal ... How to reproduce: ===================== configure.ac ==================== AC_INIT AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS([lib src tests doc]) AC_OUTPUT ======================================================= With autoconf 2.65: $ autoconf With autoconf 2.66: $ autoconf configure.ac:2: warning: AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS: you should use literals ../../lib/autoconf/status.m4:1098: AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS is expanded from... configure.ac:2: the top level Looks like a regression to me.
