You may want to try just putting it into your AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR and see if it happens to work. Although that's going to force you to keep your bootstrap script, since that means calling aclocal with a flag instead of just running autoreconf. >>> bootstrap >> Autotools don't create this.

I always suppress the cache and don't really notice a significant difference. -- Russ Allbery (rra@xxxxxxxxxxxx) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
