Package: autoconf
Version: 2.61-4
Severity: minor
Hi,
I often use head config.log to get the command line of the invocation of
configure. It contains:
It was created by MyProgram configure 20061113, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.61. Invocation command line was
$ ../configure CXX=/usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/bin/g++ CXXFLAGS=-O0 -g3
-Wno-write-strings -msse -mfpmath=sse -ffloat-store
--enable-check --enable-unused
--prefix=/home/jens/local --no-create --no-recursion
As I often copy this to create a new build directory (with slightly
modified arguments) it would be nice if the arguments to CXXFLAGS, ...
would be properly quoted to make copy and paste easier:
CXXFLAGS="-O0 -g3 -Wno-write-strings -msse -mfpmath=sse -ffloat-store"

Version: 2.67-1
thanks
Hi Jens. In January 2008 you reported that the Autoconf command
line listed in config.log is not well-quoted. This is still true
in 2.67, but Ralf Wildenhues <[email protected]> reports
that a new "config.status" feature can be used for the same
purpose:
> However, there is './config.status --config' now, which has documented
> semantics and quotes the command line arguments in a way reusable with
> eval when stuck in double-quotes.

> So from my POV you should be able to close this bug.
I agree with Ralf that this is a good solution, so I am
tentatively closing this bug, with this email (the Version
pseudo-header above tells the Debian BTS what version fixed it).
If you disagree with us, please re-open this bug (and explain
why).
Thanks,
Ben.
