| Package: autoconf
| Version: 2.54-2
| Severity: normal
|
| This is a bug I ran into while trying to update ddd to compile with
| newer autotools. A short test case is:
|
| AC_INIT(foo.c)
| AC_MSG_WARN([Please #define SIGHANDLERARGS in config.h])
|
| The resulting configure script aborts with the error:
|
| ./configure: line 1152: syntax error near unexpected token `('
| ./configure: line 1152: `{ echo "$as_me:$LINENO: WARNING: Please #define
|SIGHANDLERARGS in config.h" >&m4_default([AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD], [AS_MESSAGE_FD])'
|
| Removing the # from the string works around this bug.
Hi!
This is not a bug report. Please, read the documentation, in
particular everything related to quotation. Write this:
AC_INIT(foo.c)
AC_MSG_WARN([[Please #define SIGHANDLERARGS in config.h]])
