Good stuff. Are you willing to turn this into a patch against git Libtool? Otherwise we'll put it on our todo list. You might need to sign papers though, at least if you're adding test coverage. A general set of macros could be LT_USE_LIBTOOL_PUSH and _POP and could adjust the AC_LANG setting of all configured libtool tags; the pop macro could reset them to their original state afterwards; that would help for encapsulation. Or some better names I can't think of right now. > # _KPSE_USE_LIBTOOL() > # ------------------- > AC_DEFUN([_KPSE_USE_LIBTOOL], > [## $0: Generate a libtool script for use in configure tests > AC_PROVIDE_IFELSE([LT_INIT], , > [m4_fatal([$0: requires libtool])])[]dnl > LT_OUTPUT > m4_append([AC_LANG(C)], > [ac_link="./libtool --mode=link --tag=CC $ac_link" > ])[]dnl > AC_PROVIDE_IFELSE([AC_PROG_CXX], > [m4_append([AC_LANG(C++)], > [ac_link="./libtool --mode=link --tag=CXX $ac_link" > ])])[]dnl > AC_LANG(_AC_LANG)[]dnl > ]) # _KPSE_USE_LIBTOOL Thanks, Ralf _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
