Yes, you're right: 'configure' does this: CXXFLAGS="-D__int64=\"long long\"" g++ $CXXFLAGS ... (because you told it to), and this is equivalent to: g++ "-D__int64=\"long" "long\"" ... because that's how the shell works. For this particular example, the splitting isn't what you want, but for other examples it is, and I'm afraid that it's unlikely that Autoconf would change its behavior in this area. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
