Why don't you organize your package in such a way that the top level configure is just a stub one calling those for lib1, lib2, ..., libN, and only then the one for your main package? If you are concerned about needing to reorganize a lot, it would probably even suffice to just have another set of configure.ac and configure files in a subdirectory; and adjust the paths to the config files and config headers etc. therein. Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
