-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Sam Steingold on 3/13/2008 1:57 PM: | checking whether libffcall is installed... checking how to link with | libavcall... -lavcall ... | checking for callback.h... no | no | ... Usually, this implies that you have done a cached check inside of another cached check. Not only does this lead to poor output on a fresh configure run, it leads to bugs on a './configure -C' run, because the nested checks aren't even performed. http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Caching-Results Remember the rule of thumb: when using a cache variable, the commands-to-set-it must have no side effects except for setting the variable cache-id. | AC_CACHE_CHECK([whether libffcall is installed],[cl_cv_have_ffcall], | [cl_cv_have_ffcall=no | if test $cl_use_ffcall != no; then | AC_LIB_FROMPACKAGE(avcall,libffcall) AC_LIB_FROMPACKAGE must be a cached call (however, it is not an autoconf macro, so please consider renaming it to something that is namespace clean), but you are executing it inside of AC_CACHE_CHECK. Instead, you should execute the cache check in isolation, then based on the setting of $cl_cv_have_ffcall, execute AC_LIB_FROMPACKAGE as needed. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
