OK. Alexandre, I'm new to this, could you please suggest a name for the macro? > I'd rather aim to remove anything from this file > that is not purely Automake-specific.

For consistency, I'd call the trace macro for top_buildir and buildir, too. Notes: 1) top_buildir is currently computed statically by Automake. But I think that the general mechanism should be prefered. 2) @top_buildir@ currently slightly differs from Automake's top_buildir, but I have a patch in my queue which fixes this. By the time I add the trace call for top_buildir, both will be consistent. 3) You said you don't want `buildir = .' in Automake-generated makefiles. Can you implement this exception on Automake's side? Or will you give up? Again, I think that using the general mechanism here is the best option. Have a nice day, Stepan Kasal _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
