put AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR(m4) in configure.(in/ac) after AC_INIT and before AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (it does not work for me if I put it after AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE) and in the toplevel Makefile.am, put : ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4 It works for me that way :) Vincent On Mon, 20 Mar 2006, Chris Pickett wrote: > Hi, > > I looked at autoreconf and it doesn't pass the dirs of the -I flag on to > aclocal.
