autoconf 2.13 question

Where do I send questions about autoconf? Is there a mailing list or newsgroup somewhere? I have two questions: 1) How do I add -I, -L and -R flags to the compile and link lines when searching for libs? For example, I have AFS installed but those libraries are in /usr/afsws/libnot a

Is this the right way?

I want to make sure that two functions are available, and die if they're not. AC_CHECK_FUNC(seteuid, AC_DEFINE(HAVE_SETEUID, 1), AC_MSG_ERROR([This program re quires that seteuid be available])) AC_CHECK_FUNC(getpwent, AC_DEFINE(HAVE_GETPWENT, 1), AC_MSG_ERROR([This program requires that getpw

Validate program and put in config.h

I want to verify that a program is in the path, and error if it isn't. If it is, I'd like the value of the MKAFSVOL variable to make it into the config.h file that gets written for other stuff. How do I properly put that value into the file? This is how I'm currently checking for the program in

AFS installs

Has anyone written some type of AFS awareness macro for the install piece of autoconf? AFS uses a different path to install into. For example, if I say to use /usr/local/bin, it really means: (pdxss020, sunos 5.6) % cd /usr/local/bin (pdxss020, sunos 5.6) % pwd /afs/pdx.intel.com/local/sun4x_56

autoconf with perl XS modules

When extending perl with the XS stuff, you need a Makefile.PL that has perl run against it, which creates a Makefile to build/install the tool properly. I want to distribute one of those with my autoconf'd package. I have created a Makefile.PL.in and a few other .in files, and have configure.ac c

ifdef in a man page?

I have a manpage.8.in type file with lines like: .br .B admindo .B create .BR \-s [erver] .I name .BR \-p [artition] .I name .BR \-n [ame] I want to wrap that section such that if HAVE_MKAFSVOL was defined via the configure script (via AC_DEFINE) then that section gets included in the resulting
