Thanks for the response Eric, and for catching the quoting error in my example. | AC_REQUIRE([AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR_DEFAULT]) > > This is an undocumented macro.

It looked like the usual Autoconf missing install-sh logic used AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR_DEFAULT to handle this. Just wondered if there's any public mechanism to handle this. Also, generally, how do people package/distribute support scripts (like my $(aux_dir)/tex-it) when posting stuff up to the various Autoconf macro archives? - Rhys _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
