The problem is that generating configure with current version (2.68) of autoconf ends in a configure script that is not able to guess proper settings for fortran compilers in some environments. > You can check the version of automake/autoconf > and control the options to give aclocal, automake, autoconf, > thus, you can add /or ignore the directory including > your own fortran.m4 by changing "-I xxx" option. If I understand correctly you are suggesting to add a directory with a replacement for fortran.m4 and conditionally include that directory depending on the tools version. Is it right? Will the tools chose my own version of fortran.m4 instead of the autoconf one, using this approach (and why?)? Is it possible to achieve something similar that also works with autoreconf? > Giulio Paci wrote: >> Hi to all, >> some time ago I converted a project (http://code.google.com/p/mitlm/) >> build system from a simple Makefile to autoconf+automake. >> >> The project needs a fortran compiler.
