one usually relies that `else', `fi', etc. are not m4 macros.
So it's usually enough to write
[some-shell-script-test]
if test $? -eq 0
then
AM_CONDITIONAL([XXX], [true])
else
AM_CONDITIONAL([XXX], [false])
fi
Well, I'd use
if [some-shell-script-test]
then
...
AM_CONDITIONAL([XXX], [true])
else
...
AM_CONDITIONAL([XXX], [false])
fi
in cases when at least one of the alternatives requires additional code to
bve put insted of the `...'
If you have no such code, I see no reason why not to use the simple
AM_CONDITIONAL([XXX], [[some-shell-script-test]])
note the double quote: the inner pair prevents expanding of macros in the
test code, if you need it.
