The common cache is a good suggestion, although I'd rather not rely on my users to do that. I couldn't tell if your autogen pointer was intended to be an example of this, or an alternate suggestion. autogen-5.3.8/configure.in has this: ac_configure_args="$ac_configure_args --enable-snprintfv-convenience" ... AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS(snprintfv) Looking at the generated configure, this does seem like it'll work fine. Yet another possible solution I thought of is to use the fact that AC_ARG_VARs pay attention to environment variables, e.g.: export foodir AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS(libfoo) In fact, I think one could argue that AC_ARG_VAR should always do such an export. This method doesn't work very naturally for --enable switches, though. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions! - John Burger The MITRE Corporation Please avoid sending me unnecessary Word or PowerPoint attachments. See http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html
