Hello, my name is Justin Pence and I am a webmaster for the GNU project.
We've recently gotten a few emails about the fact that you guys no
longer have the autoconf manual online in HTML form. Is there a reason
for this? If not, can you please get it back online? (I prefer that the project

Automake gave me this message:

Let the user choose the CFLAGS. Just give a hint in the README about

By the way, malloc(0) returning a null pointer is perfectly

Hi,
I get this error on cygwin:

from a subdirectory configure script which is invoked by the master

different subdirectory configure.
the top-level invocation is:

You can try to track down the problem, e.g., with "sh -x configure".
Here's the relevant lines:

Then I'm afraid I still don't understand your proposal. Autoconf
already tests for features.

I notice that on a computer without some version of lex installed, the
AC_PROG_LEX macro assumes that some version of lex is installed. I would
prefer that AC_PROG_LEX error out if lex is not installed. I think it's safe

No, because people typically ship lex's output as part of the source code.
Can't you do something like this?

Look in `config.log'; it shows all the test commands `configure' runs, their

I agree with Paul. Let me explain that this means that lex is not called
