Hi, my Makefile.in looks like this: === Makefile.in == ## ... @stdrules@ === where "stdrules" is a AC_SUBST_FILE() variable, ie. my configure.in (yes, should be configure.ac - I know) contains something like stdrules="scripts/stdrules.mk" AC_SUBST_FIL

Greetings, I really love the feature to replace a autoconf variable with content of a file, ie. using AC_SUBST_FILE. But this feature would be of even greater value if variable substitution would take place. I wonder why this does not take place. Is there a technical reason for this? Or is i

Greetings, section 14. - recreating a configuration - of autoconf's manual shows a rule on how to regenerate a Makefile, ie. Makefile: Makefile.in config.status ./config.status Makefile That works fine. However, I have a couple of Makefiles in subdirectories. So generalized rule is t

ac_config_sub problem

2003-07-14 Thread wolfgang haefelinger
Hi, I'm facing a problem in my configure script generated by autoconf 2.57. It appears that variable $ac_config_sub is used before assigned. This is what I get: $ fgrep -n ac_config_sub configure 1191:$ac_config_sub sun4 >/dev/null 2>&1 || 1192: { { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: error: cannot run
