Yeah, if you're going to require GNU make, just say so and add -Wno-portability. That's the whole point of the flag. Hiding the dollar sign from Automake so that it can't detect the portability issue is an odd way of expressing things and just adds complexity to no real purpose. -- Russ Allbery (r...@stanford.edu) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
