Also, if such complexity is required, perhaps an autoconf macro a la: AC_ESYSCMD_OK([./git-version-gen .tarball-version]) that will error out of the command exits non-zero? _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
