Bug#683960: autoheader: doesn't cope with multiple input files for AC_CONFIG_HEADERS
* Ben Pfaff b...@cs.stanford.edu, 2012-08-05, 13:02: I wanted to use AC_CONFIG_HEADERS with multiple input files. I hoped that autoheader will generate the first one for me. What it did instead was to generate a file with a : in name: | $ cat configure.ac | AC_INIT([dummy]) | AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([config.h:config.h.in:config.aux.h]) | AC_OUTPUT | | $ ls -1 config.* | config.aux.h | | $ autoheader | | $ autoconf | | $ ls -1 config.* | config.aux.h | config.h.in:config.aux.h | | $ ./configure | configure: creating ./config.status | config.status: error: cannot find input file: `config.h.in' It looks like it was reported upstream years ago: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2007-06/msg00012.html Can you use multiple calls to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS to solve your problem? The autoconf manual says that AC_CONFIG_HEADERS may be called any number of times, and that autoheader applies to the first invocation. I've already worked around this by using AH_BOTTOM, so I don't need _another_ work-around. :) I just want autoheader to do the right thing. But no, if you have multiple AC_OUTPUT for the same output file, all you get is: $ autoconf configure.ac:3: error: `config.h' is already registered with AC_CONFIG_HEADERS. ../../lib/autoconf/status.m4:713: AC_CONFIG_HEADERS is expanded from... configure.ac:3: the top level autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 -- Jakub Wilk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
