What do you think?
Oh, sure, I guess that would be fine. In the macro, you'd have to change the AC_ARG_ENABLE argument ACTION-IF-GIVEN though: test "$enableval" != "no" && NAME_OF_RANDOM_DEVICE=$enableval to set the value in any case (so the user can override your defaults), and avoid the warning later that file `no' does not exist: AC_CHECK_FILE($NAME_OF_RANDOM_DEVICE,, AC_MSG_WARN([[device for (strong) random data `$NAME_OF_RANDOM_DEVICE' does not exist]])) Or am I missing something here (untested)?
