Hi all, please excuse my limited autoconf knowledge. I want to add the AX_COMPILE_FLAGS macro to my projects in order to produce better code. Unfortunately, this macro (more precise: it's helpers) require at least autoconf 2.64. This is not available on a number of platforms, Centos 6 is an example (2.61). I don't want to prevent users from building my projects just because the AX_COMPILE_FLAGS macro requires newer autoconf -- after all, this is more or less a development aid. I initially tried to disable it based on the autoconf version. But I found out that the macro that obtains this version requires 2.62, which I also do not have on many platforms. So I tried to add a conditional switch to disable this macro: https://github.com/rsyslog/liblognorm/pull/213/commits/61306142e0f4c972df820d161cc960db563afa53 Unfortunately, this does not work either. As it looks, autoreconf already checks the macro dependencies, so this happens at a stage before the switch can be used: http://build.rsyslog.com:8010/builders/liblognorm%20centos6%20rsyslog/builds/83/steps/shell/logs/stdio I wonder if there is any way to disable that macro, other than manually removing and re-inserting it on a as-needed basis (which really is not a good solution). Any advise is deeply appreciated. Rainer _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
