Hello, yes, the user is right, but what does they mean? ./config.status --file whatever-file-you-like or ./config.status --header whatever-file-you-like ? Do you think that config.status should examine the contents of the *.in file to guess what you mean? Also note that if configure.ac had specified AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([config.h:configh.in] then ./config.status config.h uses configh.in, while ./config.status --header config.h uses cofig.h.in. Which of the two different procedures should be triggered by ./config.status ./config.h ? Have a nice day, Stepan Kasal _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
