So aclocal generates it for you. If aclocal reads the files in /home/ed/local_first/buddy/share/aclocal, then you're set. Another possibility is for you to ship these files alongside in your package: in that case, aclocal.m4 won't contain their contents, but include them with m4_include statements. For this to work, put AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4]) in your configure.ac (given of course you have a m4/ directory in your source tree), and use `aclocal --install' or `libtoolize --install' (CVS Libtool only) to add them there. Don't forget the ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4 in the toplevel Makefile.am in this case. > Is this a harmless warning or is there a serious problem here? Harmless, but maybe over-ambitious, and confusing for the user. Cheers, Ralf _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
