I have been using aclocal -I src/m4 --output=src/autoconf/aclocal.m4 to produce a stand-alone aclocal.m4 file (with all necessary m4 files concatenated). it works fine with 1.4 aclocal 1.8 produces aclocal.m4 with many "m4_include" statements which defeat the purpose (for me). Is it possible to tell aclocal 1.8 to concatenate all the necessary m4 files instead? Thanks. PS. I also get these warnings with 1.8: aclocal -I src/m4 --output=src/autoconf/aclocal.m4 /usr/bin/aclocal: line 246: ((: 57 2 <= 13 : syntax error in expression (error token is "2 <= 13 ") /usr/share/aclocal/gsl.m4:5: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_GSL run info '(automake)Extending aclocal' or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending%20aclocal /usr/share/aclocal/freetype2.m4:7: warning: underquoted definition of AC_CHECK_FT2 /usr/share/aclocal/check.m4:5: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_CHECK configure.ac:322: warning: AC_COMPILE_IFELSE was called before AC_AIX autoconf/specific.m4:427: AC_AIX is expanded from... configure.ac:322: the top level configure.ac:322: warning: AC_RUN_IFELSE was called before AC_AIX configure.ac:344: warning: AC_COMPILE_IFELSE was called before AC_AIX configure.ac:344: the top level configure.ac:344: warning: AC_RUN_IFELSE was called before AC_AIX ... -- Sam Steingold (http://www.podval.org/~sds) running w2k <http://www.camera.org> <http://www.iris.org.il> <http://www.memri.org/> <http://www.mideasttruth.com/> <http://www.honestreporting.com> Incorrect time syncronization. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
