Over environment AT_USER_VOPT) All GNU programs should support `--version' with the expected meaning, whereas -V may have other meaning or no meaning to some GNU programs. Non-GNU programs have different conventions, of course, and it would indeed be helpful to support those conventions when practical. One test suite may test several programs with different option conventions, so the solution is probably a long form of AT_TESTED in which the suite author specifies how to invoke the particular program. Nobody has contributed such functionality at this time. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
