In the autoconf manual, there is a list of a recommended order of operations: Autoconf requirements AC_INIT(package, version, bug-report-address) information on the package checks for programs checks for libraries checks for header files checks for types checks for structures checks for compiler characteristics checks for library functions checks for system services AC_CONFIG_FILES([file...]) AC_OUTPUT Where do the symbol tests for AC_CHECK_DECL fit into that list? Where's the best place to put those tests? _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
