So if you ship `testsuite', then ship package.m4 as well. If you ship package.m4, then it should not depend on config.status or Makefile (the manual shows an example where it depends on configure.ac only.) > so my guess is that it's related to the fact that I chose to generate > `package.m4' with config.status (it's an AC_CONFIG_FILES) instead of having > it depend on `Makefile' as shown in the Autoconf manual. I don't see where you read that. Cheers, Ralf _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
