I'm rather sure either LN_S or as_ln_s used to be overridable at one point, but doesn't seem to be the case in the current code. Hmm, I see ac_cv_prog_LN_S in Autoconf from ten years ago, but that code had other problems too. One workaround would be to write a wrapper program called ln which does exit 1. :-) Or, if you somehow need links for something else, fail if source and target match conf[1-9][0-9]*.* (regex not glob notation) after disregarding -s, that ought to catch the typical configure tests. > I also want this to > propagate to recursive autoconf invocations, so it is not > sufficient to manually edit the generated configure script. You mean recursive configure invocations? Thanks, Ralf _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
