Dear autoconf maintainors:
Before all, Thanks for providing excellent utils under GPL...
There's any documents to notice how to use '$' in
--program-transform-name option? The autoconf info
provides an example using '^', but no example using '$'.
The configure script generated by autoconf rewrites regular
expression to fit sh script, '$' seems to be escaped twice.
Aslike, when I give
--program-transform-name='s/$/2/'
, the regular expression written in Makefile is:
transform = s/$$$$/2/g
not 's/$$/2/g'.
So, the transformation does not work as I expected.
Yet I'm not sure how to rewrite acgeneral.m4 etc for
correct escapement for '$', but if it is expected design,
please let me know how to use '$'.
(I suppose, the argument parser doubles '$' once,
and transform_regex generator doubles it again,
then 1 '$' generates 4 '$'.)
Best Wishes,
