The OP had stated that if he created a file, `tryme.cpp', then said make tryme his version of make, (which isn't GNU make), didn't have a default rule to make `tryme' from `tryme.cpp', but it did know what to do with `tryme.cc'. Of course, as Werner has said, this is entirely irrelevant, if `ac_ext' is only used within the `configure' context, and all C++ compilers know how to process *.cpp files. On this understanding, there would be no advantage in making the patch any more complicated than the simple `ac_ext=cpp' you have already applied. Sorry for the false alarm.
