Why do you need an autoconf macro to provide this? If a shell variable is sufficient, then use the following: C -> $CC C++ -> $CXX Fortran77 -> $F77 Fortran -> $FC These output variables are documented in the autoconf manual under AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX, AC_PROG_F77, AC_PROG_FC, respectively. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
