Great! Is the same true about /etc? I'm currently configuring --sysconfdir=/etc and storing the config into SYSCONFDIR "/" PACKAGE "/file.conf", whereas I've seen packages in Debian configuring --sysconfdir=/etc/package and using SYSCONFDIR "/file.conf" in the code. Thanks in advance, Baurzhan. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
