This is more of an autoconf question.
Generally the answer is "use sed".
Do you really mean to assign t
I try to write a transportable AC_DEFUN:
I want to wrire simple substitution command as (in bash):

I get the message:
bad substitution
Is there a more transportable way to do that ?
thanks in advance,

I understand you're trying to get a new release out. I certainly don't
want to interfere with that, nor put any sort of pressure upon you

Fine, but as I said, for 9 out of 10 compilers users would see the

In particular if you consider the lexical flexibility of Fortran. It
