It will search $PATH for suitable tools, including tools prefixed with $ac_tool_prefix (for cross compilation). For `nm', it will also check a couple of extra paths typical for some systems. You (as a package maintainer) should not have to do anything. For very unusual setups, the user (the one that types ./configure) may have to adjust. For unusual systems, too, but then we're happy about a bug report or patch. Cheers, Ralf _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
