Ok I should have known better than posting this late at night, as it obviously results in dumb sentences :( > What's more, it's a shell variable set by _automake_, not autoconf. As I pointed in a previous post, it is however set in m4/missing.m4 in autoconf 2.52 source tree, so it should be possible to use it with plain autoconf I suppose. missing.m4 also defines AM_MISSING_PROG. I agree though that the names of these macros sound very automakeish :) > You'll need to call > > AC_CHECK_PROGS(YACC, byacc yacc 'bison -y', [AM_MISSING_PROG(yacc)]) > > instead of using the undocumented, unsupported, internal am_missing_run > variable. Then run aclocal to pull in the macro definitions needed. > Note that this _may_ require a recent automake (1.5 recommended). ACK -- David Coquil
