Hi list, I'm maintaining a set of M4 macros and want to write regression tests as people report bugs. Running end-to-end tests where I generate a configure script and run it and see if it works as expected is taking too long (I already do that by re-using autoconf's own testsuite and it takes 20 minutes to run 40 tests on my recent Mac). I'd like to use some dependency injection in order to cut the cost of some of the tests. The idea is that I have this: AC_DEFUN([MY_MACRO], [AC_REQUIRE([SOME_DEP])dnl # some code here _MY_HELPER_MACRO([whatever]) # some more code here ]) where both SOME_DEP and _MY_HELPER_MACRO are defined in the same file, mypkg.m4, which is automatically m4_include'd by the generated aclocal.m4. I tried to use m4_rename like so: m4_rename([SOME_DEP], [SAVED_SOME_DEP])dnl <-- this is line 300 AC_DEFUN([SOME_DEP], [echo hooked cheap dep]) # my test with MY_MACOR here m4_rename([SAVED_SOME_DEP], [SOME_DEP]) but I always get a ../../tests/testsuite.at:300: error: m4_defn: undefined macro: SOME_DEP ../../tests/testsuite.at:300: the top level autom4te: /usr/bin/gm4 failed with exit status: 1 AC_DEFUN == m4_defun, right? And m4_defun does a m4_define, so what am I doing wrong? -- Benoit Sigoure aka Tsuna EPITA Research and Development Laboratory _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
