Try swapping your conditionals. AC_CONFIG_FILES expects literal file names, but the text "[AS_IF..." is not a literal filename. Meanwhile, it is safe to call AC_CONFIG_FILES more than once. AC_CONFIG_FILES([... list of unconditional makefiles]) AS_IF([test...], [AC_CONFIG_FILES([makefile1.am makefile2.am makefile3.am])]) > > I have verified that the list does not contain duplicate Makefile entries. > The configuration script works fine when I remove the [AS_IF] statement, but > not when it is included.

Consider upgrading to m4 1.4.16; there was a nasty strstr() bug in m4 1.4.15 that has been proven to generate broken configure files in some cases. -- Eric Blake [email protected] +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
