Well, if you use aclocal, then it will cause the code from libtool.m4 to be included in aclocal.m4. If you distribute libtool.m4 in your package, then the inclusion will be a simple line m4_include([m4/libtool.m4]) (assuming that is the right relative file name), otherwise the whole text will be copied in there. It's usually a good idea to ship a copy of libtool.m4 to ease updating. You can also use AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4]) so that updates of the file can be done automatically by `aclocal -I m4 --install' (or CVS Libtool's `libtoolize --install'). > Isn't that where the macro AC_PROG_LIBTOOL is defined? What about the > other files in libltdl/m4? Do I need those too? Yes. For CVS Libtool, you usually need argz.m4 libtool.m4 ltoptions.m4 ltsugar.m4 ltversion.m4 lt~obsolete.m4 but possibly also the others (if you use libltdl). Either of the above commands will install the right set of files for you. Cheers, Ralf _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
