I just did a quick check with "autoreconf -i" in version 2.69. Sadly it does NOT warn about either AC_INIT or AC_OUTPUT missing. It also doesn't warn about trailing space in arguments, e.g., it allows this: AC_INIT([project_name] , [1.0.11] , [my_email] ) So there's a long list of things that an autoconf style checker could detect. I'd focus on things like missing [...] and trailing space in arguments; those are easy mistakes to make. --- David A.
