Hello, I have found out that having this in configure.ac is a problem: AC_DEFUN([foo], [echo "#" ]) autoreconf ends with an error. The error always looks like this: configure.ac:5: error: m4_init: unbalanced m4_divert_push: configure.ac:5: m4_divert_push: BODY <context dependent and confusing error message> ../../lib/autoconf/c.m4:1561: AC_C_INLINE is expanded from... </context dependent and confusing error message> configure.ac:5: the top level autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 (There is nice AC_INIT on line 5) However, this is OK: AC_DEFUN([foo], [echo "#" dnl ]) This is not nice since for instance AC_DEFUN([foo], [echo "#define foo" > $somwhere ]) fails as well... _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
