I am using the following configure.ac to generate the configure script for a program whose only dependencies are GNU Bash, and GNU Libextractor. However on running ./configure, once autoconfig has generated it, it checks for bison, gawk, gcc, stdlib.h, and whole lot of other things. Is there a way to prevent this?
