You're a brave man; not many people use that. Why do you need AM_ICONV? Are you using iconv directly? Typically, these days, people just put this into their configure.in: AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external]) and then they don't need to worry about gettext's use of iconv, since they don't have an intl subdirectory. > I installed gettext, and the macros m4 were installed in > /usr/local/share/aclocal. It's a bad idea to rely on this, since it means that only you can configure your package. I would put those .m4 files into an m4 subdirectory of your package, and distribute those .m4 files. Then you can use aclocal -I m4. Most people do it this eay. > BTW -- are there macros available for testing libxml2 and zlib? Not that I know of, but quite possibly there are some somewhere.
