I already have CL_MODULE_COMMON_CHECKS() in clisp/modules/syscalls/configure.in
which expands to
AC_REQUIRE([AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR],
[AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([$cl_cv_clisp_libdir/build-aux])])


That won't work right, the aux dir name needs to be known to autoreconf
and 'automake --add-missing', so it needs to be a literal string.


how about

AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([...@clisp_libdir@/build-aux])

is it more kosher?

gnulib-tool feature request

2010-02-26 Thread Sam Steingold 
Since I use gnulib in several sub-modules, I need to avoid conflicts between 
different gnulib imports.

thus I need to make all those _GL_* constants module-specific.
thus I need gnulib-tool to accept a --macro-prefix option and this patch:

I believe the recommended way to avoid conflicts between different
gnulib imports is to use a separate configure.ac for each gnulib import,
at least that is how I make it work.  Is fixing the _GL_ constants
really sufficient?  I doubt that it is enough given the amount of
config.h stuff that influences what gets defined/overriden in
gnulib-provided header files.  But if there is a simpler solution, it
would be useful because having separate configure.ac's adds some
bootstrapping overhead.

of course I have a separate configure.in for each module!
the setup works just fine, I just don't want to have to apply the
patch to gnulib-too myself each time I pull from gnulib.

gnulib without autoconf?

2010-02-26 Thread Ben Walton 

Hi All,

I'm wondering whether its feasible to use gnulib in a project that
doesn't use autoconf/automake?  Would it be easier to first auto* the
project and then add gnulib?

Thanks
-Ben
