When a substitution variable FOO contains the string @FOO@, config.status runs forever. Example:
$ cat configure.ac AC_INIT FOO='@FOO@' AC_SUBST(FOO) AC_CONFIG_FILES(Makefile) AC_OUTPUT $ cat Makefile.in FOO = @FOO@ $ ./configure configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile [hangs] Of course, such a situation seems highly unusual, but I write because it happened to me today in a real application. Looking at the code, changing s,@FOO@,@FOO@,;t t to s,@FOO@,@FOO@,g would work, but I'm sure there are performance implications. -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED]
