Hello, [let's move to the automake list; please keep Guillaume in the cc] On Mon, Oct 02, 2006 at 11:39:45AM +0200, Guillaume Rousse wrote: > Moreover, it requires me to specify a path to a file external to my > package, which I don't want to do. well, this is the root of the problem: Your package should be rebuildable by others. If the file ocaml.m4 is ``external'' to your project, then others have to install it before rebuilding your package. Then we can suppose that ocaml.m4 is installed in the system aclocal directory, eg. /usr/share/aclocal, on in another directory, which is listed in the file `dirlist'. (See the aclocal info documentation for details about the `dirlist' file.) Though it might not be clear from the documentation, `aclocal -I' should be used only with subdirectories inside your project. In other cases, you should have a `system' installation of the *.m4 file, using the `dirlist' file. (It is possible /usr/share/aclocal/dirlist is read-only in your case, perhaps because you do not administer the system. Then your only option is to make a local installation of Automake under your $HOME directory.) Have a nice day, Stepan Kasal _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
