"autoconf" is very often not the first step in preparing a fresh CVS checkout for building, and very often some of those earlier steps want to either know or to compute the version. sed/grep/awk hackery to insert or extract the version from configure.ac is a gross nuisance. It would be very nice indeed if there were a way to disentangle the authentic, original version from the configure.ac file. :) Cheers - Bruce _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
