There is no API to do this, though, is there? As I understand it, $ac_configure_args is just one long string containing the arguments. I did try to hack the individual $ac_env_PKG_CONFIG_PATH_value and $ac_cv_env_*_value variables, but the command line arguments for subdir processing seem to be generated before any user code. By the time my code runs, the arguments are set. > Incidentally, a patch has been proposed quite recently to add extra > arguments to (some) sub package configure invocations.

Maybe I could give it a try. Thanks, - Chris _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
