Dear author: Sorry to bother you with such an easy problem, but I cannot run even the simplest example to quote a string: I have tried: ``` define(A, 'Harry, MET.') ``` and
``` define(A, `Harry, MET.') ``` and ``` define(A, [Harry, MET.]) ``` and ``` define(A, [`Harry, MET.']) ``` In addition, the manual in http://gnu.ist.utl.pt/software/m4/manual/m4.pdf still describes version 1.4.7, however, my m4 version is 1.4.18. I tried to build a manual from https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/m4.git, branch 1.4, however, I couldn't do that. ``` autoreconf -i sh: 1: build-aux/git-version-gen: not found configure.ac:25: error: AC_INIT should be called with package and version arguments /usr/share/aclocal-1.16/init.m4:29: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is expanded from... configure.ac:25: the top level autom4te: error: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 aclocal: error: /usr/bin/autom4te failed with exit status: 1 autoreconf: error: aclocal failed with exit status: 1 ``` Thank you for your precious time! Best, Xinyi
