The problem is that, while zlib > does provide a configure script, it is substantially incompatible > with anything autoconf might generate: Well, in that case, the only viable way is to not use AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS, but instead invoke the sub configure manually, probably best after AC_OUTPUT, by extracting and re-quoting the needed arguments from $ac_configure_args. See autoconf/status.m4:_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS for how this is done. Or, fix zlib/configure. :-) Cheers, Ralf _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
