Scoured the following for any of the related issues you pointed out, can't seem
to figure out what I'm overwriting or doing wrong though :(
(I'm only using the IF_GIVEN block for demonstration purposes, I'll change it
to CHECK_VALUE later on, but see above for a problem I picked up while doing so)
UTIL_ARG_WITH(NAME: vendor-name, TYPE: string,
RESULT: COMPANY_NAME,
DEFAULT: $DEFAULT_COMPANY_NAME,
DESC: [Set vendor name. Among others, used to set the 'java.vendor'
and 'java.vm.vendor' system properties.],
DEFAULT_DESC: [not specified],
IF_GIVEN: [
if test "x$COMPANY_NAME" = x; then
AC_MSG_ERROR([--with-vendor-name must have a value])
elif [ ! [[ $COMPANY_NAME =~ ^[[:print:]]*$ ]] ]; then
AC_MSG_ERROR([--with-vendor-name contains non-printing characters:
$COMPANY_NAME])
fi
])
AC_SUBST(COMPANY_NAME)
