Brackets are not allowed in the filenames for the AC_CONFIG_FILES macro?


AC_CONFIG_FILES( [Makefile] ) AC_CONFIG_FILES( doc/arson/Makefile )


Everything works when I take the brackets out. I hate tools that are picky about tabs, spaces, etc. :-)

AC_CONFIG_FILES( Makefile )
AC_CONFIG_FILES( doc/arson/Makefile )

I can leave brackets in but take the spaces out.

AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])
AC_CONFIG_FILES([doc/arson/Makefile])
