Feel free to fix or improve on it. ok, nice catch. I've added your fix to template\build\acregen.sh which is the file I copy in new components whenever I create their folders.

I can't trap it in configure.ac, which I though was next to run. aclocal & autoconf do not run configure.ac; rather they interpret it (configure.ac is written in a macro language called "m4" or "m4sugar") and then build the configure script. From the error you get I think the problem is that your M4 interpreter (/bin/m4) does not seem to be the GNU one... and this seems to give problems to autom4te (an utility used by aclocal). This problem has nothing to do with wxCode/wxWidgets but rather seems a problem of MSYS (assuming you're using MSYS). I strongly suggest you to generate your configure script from a real Linux installation (which you will require anyway if you want to test your component/apps under linux)... if you don't want to mess with partitions/boot-managers, etc, I'd suggest you to go with VMWare player and the Ubuntu DVD :) To develop cross-platform software, virtual machines are very handy!
