What you want is that the body of the macro looks like this: pushdef([DOWN], translit([$1], [A-Z], [a-z]))dnl ecore_[]DOWN[]_libs="" AC_SUBST(ecore_[]DOWN[]_libs) popdef([DOWN]) Now put a pair of quotes around it, and you get this: AC_DEFUN([AC_CHECK_ECORE_MODULE], [ pushdef([DOWN], translit([$1], [A-Z], [a-z]))dnl ecore_[]DOWN[]_libs="" AC_SUBST(ecore_[]DOWN[]_libs) popdef([DOWN]) ]) Andreas. -- Andreas Schwab, SuSE Labs, schwab@xxxxxxx SuSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany PGP key fingerprint = 58CA 54C7 6D53 942B 1756 01D3 44D5 214B 8276 4ED5 "And now for something completely different." _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
