That is a bit disappointing, though: it generates a lot of extra work for the configure.ac author, only to find out what autoconf already knows: where it could find a particular header file. It will also make the scripts less robust. Am I overlooking something? Is there a technical reason why that information cannot be.communicated to the user? If not, I suppose I could file a feature request. Thanks again, Jan. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
