One issue is the character that separates file names in a path; the other is whether backslashes and/or drive specs are significant in file names. (Note that the GNU coding standards say that "path" is for lists of file names, not for a single file name, so HAVE_DOS_PATHS is poorly-named.) How about something like the following instead? if test -d '.\.\.'; then AC_DEFINE([HAVE_DOS_FILE_NAME_SEPARATORS], 1, [Define this if your system uses backslashes to separate file name components.]) fi Anyway, as far as the original bug report goes, I no longer have access to Solaris 7 or 2.6 hosts, so I can't easily test any solution, should one be proposed. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
