Hi All, If this is a duplicate question (which I suspect it is), please forgive me. Search is returning so many irrelevant entries that I can't find the answer. I also looked in the manual (particularly Configuration Header Templates), but I did not grasp what I need to do. In configure.ac, I have the following: dnl bignums AC_ARG_ENABLE([bignum-forcing], AS_HELP_STRING([--enable-bignum-forcing], [Force the usage of the 64 bits bignum ...]), [force_bignums=$enableval], [force_bignums=no]) if test "x$force_bignums" = "xyes"; then AC_DEFINE([PDF_FORCE_BIGNUMS],[0],[Force the usage of the 64 bits bignum ...]) fi After bootstrap/configure, this produces (in config.h): /* Force the usage of the 64 bits bignum ... */ /* #undef PDF_FORCE_BIGNUMS */ Changing to 'AC_DEFINE([PDF_FORCE_BIGNUMS],[1],...' results in: After configure, this produces: /* Force the usage of the 64 bits bignum ... */ #undef PDF_FORCE_BIGNUMS What I'm looking for (notice the a #define is used, and the define is commented): /* Force the usage of the 64 bits bignum ... */ /* #define PDF_FORCE_BIGNUMS */ Any ideas on what knob I should turn?
