Learn to use Quadrigraphs: AC_MSG_WARN([[AM@&t@_PATH_CHECK() is deprecated]]) http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/Quadrigraphs.html 2. Double quotation [[ ]] does successfully prevent expansion of macros, iff all macros calling this one have been quoted correctly, i.e., once. 3. m4_pattern_forbid was invented to forbid some patterns. User macros should simply not begin with 'AM_'. That prefix is reserved for Automake, and also used by a set of legacy macros from some other packages. When you invent new names, use a different prefix, like 'jt_', or, for pkg-config, 'PKG_'. I reckon that the damage is already done with AM_PATH_CHECK though. Which is the name of the package that defines it? It is broken, the bug should be moved to this package, and to fix it, the package should add something like m4_pattern_allow([^AM_PATH_CHECK$]) to its macro. Hope that helps.
