I disagree: aclocal is useful even when you don't use automake, for importing your own macros as in my case, so you should have a way to force its invocation if needed. Unless autoconf is now able to perform macros lookup in external directories itself, as its invocation with --include seems to suggest. Anyway, my tests show that is is called unconditionally. > On the other hand, your > screenshot looks like you are running a wrapper autoreconf, rather than > the stock one provided by autoconf; perhaps it is a wrapper bug that you > should report to the maintainer of the wrapper script? I also tested direct invocation, with ACLOCAL, AUTOCONF and AUTOHEADER envvar set: [rousse@alceste camlimages]$ autoreconf-2.5x -v -I ../autoconf/ autoreconf-2.5x: Entering directory `.' autoreconf-2.5x: configure.ac: not using Gettext autoreconf-2.5x: running: /usr/bin/aclocal-1.9 autoreconf-2.5x: configure.ac: tracing autoreconf-2.5x: configure.ac: not using Libtool autoreconf-2.5x: running: /usr/bin/autoconf-2.5x --include=../autoconf/ autoreconf-2.5x: running: /usr/bin/autoheader-2.5x --include=../autoconf/ autoreconf-2.5x: configure.ac: not using Automake autoreconf-2.5x: Leaving directory `.' As a sidenote, if configure scripts does not exists already (first invocation), I got an error message about possibly undefined macro. If configure already exists, I don't have it. -- Guillaume Rousse Projet Estime, INRIA Domaine de Voluceau Rocquencourt - B.P. 105 78153 Le Chesnay Cedex - France _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
