According to http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/autoconf/Initializing-configure.html I can do a AC_INIT(hello,1.0,[test@xxxxxxxx],[tarname],[http://www.test.com]) and expect to have PACKAGE* veritable set accordingly, see Makefile below. But I can't see PACKAGE_URL got defined ? I am using Autoconf version 2.63 and Automake version 1.10 Is this a autoconf/automake version issue ? . Makefile <snip> PACKAGE = hello PACKAGE_BUGREPORT = test@xxxxxxx PACKAGE_NAME = hello PACKAGE_STRING = hello 1.0 PACKAGE_TARNAME = tarname PACKAGE_VERSION = 1.0 PATH_SEPARATOR = : SET_MAKE = SHELL = /bin/sh STRIP = VERSION = 0.1 <snip> the configure.ac and Makefile.am test$ cat configure.ac AC_INIT(hello,1.0,[test@xxxxxxxx],[tarname],[http://www.test.com]) AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(hello,0.1) AC_PROG_CC AC_PROG_INSTALL AC_OUTPUT(Makefile) test$ cat Makefile.am bin_PROGRAMS = hello hello_SOURCES = hello.c test$ -- T.J.
