Yes, as Eric indicated: you can do it like this:
- create a m4/ subdirectory of your top source directory,
- create a file m4/mymacro.m4 with the macro(s) contents,
- add the line
ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4
to the toplevel Makefile.am file,
- optionally also add the line
AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])
to the configure.ac file
and rerun 'autoreconf -v'. If your configure.ac file uses the macro,
then it should now be picked up from the file in the m4 directory.
Have fun,
Ralf
