Sorry, I don't understand your point. It seems to be claiming that the preprocessor doesn't do arithmetic (a claim that is obviously incorrect), but your earlier comments suggest that you understand things well enough not to be making claims like that. Anyway, I don't think it matters. We seem to be agreeing that autoconf isn't needed here. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
