I think AM_PROG_LEX probably does everything you need, with no explicit warning code needed. It looks like it sets up the "missing" script to give a warning in those cases where lex is wanted. > Then this means that the error message would only be triggered for > people who passed the `--enable-maintainer-mode' option to `configure' > (which /should/ be the case for people building from CVS, but I'm not > sure this is actually the case since I didn't even use it myself ;-)). If the generated file is checked into the cvs and the dates are right then you won't need flex for a maintainer build, unless you actually change the source. (Maintainer-mode is mostly about regenerating configure, Makefile.in, etc when the inputs change.) > BTW, why is the flex-generated file included in the distribution? Reducing dependencies (see "Releases" in the gnu standards manual), apparently. _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
