hi there, I'm writing a m4 test that calls AC_PATH_PROG. My test takes an argument that is a package name. This name is not a valid shell variable name, so I have to calculate a variable name. autoconf generates a variable 'as_tr_sh' which is used for similar purposes, but I'm not sure it is 'official'. Can I rely on its existence and use it ?
Next, I'v trouble calling AC_PATH_PROG, since it takes a variable name and a program name argument. I'd like to pass my computed variable name as first argument, but that doesn't seem to work. Is there a constraint when using AC_PATH_PROG that I have to use a variable name that is known at 'compile time' ? Any help is highly apreciated ! Stefan
