Hi everyone,
I couldn't be sure whether this was a bug or my own doing (which is more
probable), so I decided to post here.
When I have both LT_INIT and AC_SUBST macros inside my "configure.ac",
autoreconf fails:
$ autoreconf -vif
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I m4
Use of uninitialized value $msg in concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/bin/autom4te line 1038.
unknown channel m4trarn_allow(^am__EXEEXT_FALSE$)
m4tra at /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/Channels.pm line 634
Autom4te::Channels::msg('m4trarn_allow(^am__EXEEXT_FALSE$)\x{a}m4tra',
undef, 'warning: ') called at /usr/bin/autom4te line 1038
aclocal: autom4te failed with exit status: 1
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1
---------------------------------------------------
I tried a lot of combinations, and found out that having both LT_INIT
and AC_SUBST in configure.ac causes the problem. If I remove one of
them, the errors disappear. However, if I run "libtoolize" before
autoreconf, everything works perfectly:
$ libtoolize;autoreconf -vif

after I upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 from 9.04)
Autoconf: 2.64
Automake: 1.11
libtool: 2.2.6
Here is my configure.ac:

[AS_HELP_STRING([--with-config=PATH],
[specify location of config++ directory])],

AC_SUBST([configdir],[$with_config])

If I am not being entirely clear, please forgive. I can provide more
detailed info if necessary.
