-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Ralf Wildenhues on 4/6/2008 7:39 AM: |> dnl like that. TODO. Squared brackets are not being shown in help output. |> AS_HELP_STRING([--with-module-ID=PATH!PRIORITY!SHARE[!COMMAND LINE]], |> [add a module])) Underquoted - you should quote invocations of AS_HELP_STRING when used as arguments to another macro. | | For example like this (untested): | | AC_ARG_WITH([module], | [AS_HELP_STRING([--with-module-ID=PATH,PRIORITY,SHARE[[,COMMAND LINE]]], | [add a module])]) Yes, that will work in 2.62 (which I tried to release yesterday, but we're still sorting out upload permissions). But it won't work in 2.61 or earlier, because of a bug in earlier autoconf that underquoted the AS_HELP_STRING arguments. | | If you need non-nested brackets, you can still use quadrigraphs, | see 'info Autoconf Quadrigraphs'. Yes, that will work across multiple Autoconf versions. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
