Hi Nina, I'm also a newbie too, but I found it very well explained on the Autotools tutorial written by Alexandre Duret-Lutz (http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~adl/autotools.html): * Create a m4/ subdirectory. * Put your macros there. (The extension must be *.m4 ) * Add ACLOCAL AMFLAGS = -I m4 to the top-level Makefile.am. * Add AC CONFIG MACRO DIR([m4]) to configure.ac. (This is not strictly needed yet, but let’s be future-proof.) * Use your macros in configure.ac. * The ACLOCAL AMFLAGS are used by ‘autoreconf’ and by the Makefile rebuild rule when they need to run ‘aclocal’. * Local macros that are used are automatically distributed. (Those that are not used are simply ignored.) Alberto _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
