I am trying trickery like just setting 'no_recursion=yes' just before AC_OUTPUT to suppress the recursion along with some checks to make sure that subdirs hasn't changed in the meantime... AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS([sub1]) AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS([sub2]) early_subdirs="$subdirs" _AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS dnl ... dnl Arbitrary things dnl ... if test "$early_subdirs" != "$subdirs"; then AC_MSG_ERROR([Sanity error: "$early_subdirs" became "$subdirs"]) fi no_recursion=yes AC_OUTPUT() On a scale of hideous to grotesque, how bad is this approach? - Rhys _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
