Hello, I use autoconf 2.59... AC_INIT generates a PACKAGE_STRING preprocessor variable which includes a blank between the package name and its version. When not using a config.h, but letting the Makefile use -D switches for the preprocessor variables, the POSIX shell under HP UX 11.00 complains: f95 -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"f90_preproc\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"f90_preproc\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"0.1\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"f90_preproc\ 0.1\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"christian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\" -DPACKAGE=\"f90_preproc\" -DVERSION=\"0.1\" -DPACKAGE_STRING= -I. -I. -g -c -o sub.o sub.F90 Unrecognised file suffix .1" (the problem is related to the -DPACKAGE_STRING=...) I guess it's a problem with the shell implementation on that platform; it works well on other platforms I've tried. One way around it is to use the older syntax, as this leaves the PACKAGE_* variables as empty strings. This certainly isn't the best way to go, or ist it? Of course, I could also make use of a config.h, but I just don't see the point in adding a config.h for the only file that requires preprocessing, simply because one OS has a buggy shell. Is it possible to disable the output of the PACKAGE_* variables, or change them? Thanks a lot, Christian.
