|
|
63 |
|
We have to stop using the old compatibility scheme --that tried to |
64 |
|
avoid useless backslashes-- because Libtool 1.4.3 contains a |
65 |
|
|
66 |
|
AC_DEFINE([error_t], [int], |
67 |
|
[Define to a type to use for \`error_t' if it is not |
68 |
|
otherwise available.]) |
69 |
|
|
70 |
|
We have to quote the single quotes and backslashes with \. The old |
71 |
|
compatibility scheme saw that ` was backslashed, and therefore did |
72 |
|
not quote the single quote... Failure. Hence, Autoconf 2.54 is not |
73 |
|
compatible with Libtool. Autoconf 2.55 is, but in some cases might |
74 |
|
produce more \ than wanted. |

Please, note that in the future the same problem will happen with |
77 |
|
AC_MSG_*: use `autoreconf -f -Wall'. |

- AC_MSG_* |
123 |
|
|
124 |
|
Special characters in AC_MSG_* need not be quoted. Currently, |
125 |
|
Autoconf has heuristics to decide when a string is escaped, or has |
126 |
|
to be escaped. This scheme is fragile, and will be removed; the |
127 |
|
only risk is uglified messages. Please, run `autoreconf -f -Wall' |
128 |
|
to find occurrences that will be affected. |
