Hi all,
I'm working on a patch for libpcap's configure script when I found a
small problem (running autoconf version 2.57 on a Redhat 9 machine).
When I run autoconf on the unmodified configure.in from CVS I get
the following error which prevents a new configure script from
being generated:
configure.in:35: error: do not use LIBOBJS directly, use AC_LIBOBJ
(see section `AC_LIBOBJ vs LIBOBJS'
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
I believe that the use of LIBOBJS here is legitimate (because libpcap
doesn't use automake) and the patch below prevents autoconf flagging this
as an error.
Cheers,
Erik
