Hi,
I'm wondering if there is a convention already for this or not.
I am linking static libraries on windows (msvc++). Not involving
libtool or anything ready-made from autoconf/automake for that matter.
Anyways, I can either just ball together just the object files for
the library, or I can li

Hi guys,
Is there any way to make config.status know about some define and
its value, but not put the template into config.h through AC_DEFINE?
I'd like to separate system-detection-defines and user-feature-toggle-
defines into two separate headers. I'd set up the user-feature-toggle-

Regarding MKS sh and case/esac, I ran into another weird problem
