Stick this in your configure.ac: m4_pattern_forbid([PKG_*]) then anyone running autoconf on your package without the pkg-config m4 modules installed will get an earlier error at autoconf time flagging the unexpanded macro, rather than a late error at configure execution of a shell syntax error or unfound command. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
