autoconf challenge

2000-02-16 Thread Lars J. Aas

Bug Report: Autoconf 2.13

2000-02-16 Thread Tom Hawker
The "Makefile.in" file distributed with autoconf appears to be incorrect.  There are two problems, one of which I've hit and the other of which I don't intend to try: The "install" target, when it installs the scripts, does not install them from the source directory.  Thus, if you are using GNU
