Hi Jian, I believe the problem is the double quoting. Please try: AS_HELP_STRING([--with-bar=DIR], [Where to find bar libs]) instead. H -- > I tried to use AS_HELP_STRING and found that we cannot double quote its > parameters. For example, I wrote a testing configure.ac like this: > > AC_INIT([Foo], [1.0], [root@xxxxxxxxxx], [foo]) > AC_ARG_WITH( > bar, > AS_HELP_STRING([--with-bar=DIR], [[Where to find bar libs]]) > ) > > Then I run autoconf to generate the configure script. But when I run > `configure --help' it outputed like this: > > Optional Packages: > --with-PACKAGE[=ARG] use PACKAGE [ARG=yes] > --without-PACKAGE do not use PACKAGE (same as --with-PACKAGE=no) > --with-bar=DIR Where, to, find, bar, libs > > Why the HELP string for `--with-bar' was seperated by commas?
