Isn't "sleep 10" portable? Maybe better use AC_MSG_ERROR unless some --disable-error-xyz is given? I'm afraid in most cases configure warnings are ignored anyway, as long as make install works, so I think best to compile-in the state of all affecting options and show them e.g. in ./myprg --version and require this as mandatory information in bug reports. oki, Steffen _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
