Thank you very much. This patch has now been added to the development stream. I like the fact that it's not even (autoconf) release-dependent. >Please bear with me for a moment, the explanation is somewhat longer. I appreciate your explanations. The detail they contain helps me to understand clearly what's been done. >The NEWS file explains that the macro m4_text_wrap was first >documented in 2.62, after some ``bug fixes or semantic changes.'' That's what I get for trying to figure things out without using the documentation. :-) >Then I realized that the above behaviour was a consequence of the >fact that the parameter PREFIX1 was the long unexpanded string >containing "m4_format([%-8s " etc. >Later on, macro brltty_tables_text has been expanded again, so the >cause of the problem was somewhat masked. Thank you for figuring that out. I'm sure it'd have taken me qutie some time to do the same. >In the patch, I'm using > ..., m4_defn([brltty_help_prefix])) >but > ..., []brltty_help_prefix)) >would work as well, choose whatever you like more. > >(m4_defn does expand only once, ie. not recursively, and the result >is quoted. A nice macro. Maybe I knew about m4_defn() at one time, but I don't recall it. It's certainly useful. >I have tested that the patch does work with Autoconf 2.62, and that >it does not change a byte in the resulting configure with Autoconf >2.59. It does apply cleanly to the svn version fo brltty. Again, thank you. I really do appreciate your help. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the Word of God.
