Using autoconf 2.63 and autoscan, my automatically generated configure.scan has AC_PREREQ as the first macro in the file, and AC_INIT second. The autoconf manual has this to say about it: "This macro is the only macro that may be used before AC_INIT, but for consistency, you are invited not to do so." If the manual says "please don't do it," why does autoscan do it? _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
