> What's the easiest way to specify the AC_INIT package version external to > configure.ac? why not including just another m4 file which defines the version number? example: ./version.m4 m4_define([VERSION_NUMBER],[1.2.3]) ./package/configure.ac m4_include([../version.m4]) AC_INIT([package],VERSION_NUMBER) This is how we solved the same problem. regards, Carsten _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
