Thu 23 Oct 2014 10:05:24 AM UTC, comment #3: I've updated the syntax for shell arithmetic in 416d91b.	Peter Simons <simons>
Mon 20 Oct 2014 09:39:06 AM UTC, comment #2: I think you're right. A one-line shell script fails with an arith error. Why not use check_args=$(($args_num % 2)) instead? I think that's more portable (but I might of course be wrong).	Thomas Klausner <tk>
Wed 15 Oct 2014 08:57:35 AM UTC, comment #1: I've fixed the typo in d5f4960. I'm not sure what's causing the syntax error. My guess would be that the NetBSD /bin/sh doesn't understand the "let x = ..." syntax for doing arithmetic?	Peter Simons <simons>
Wed 06 Aug 2014 07:29:28 AM UTC, original submission: I'm using ax_perl_module_version.m4 in one of my projects and found two issues. The first one is that I get a syntax error for the line: let "ckeck_args = $args_num % 2" I don't know why that is. I'm using autoconf-2.69 and NetBSD m4. The other bug is that this line wants to set the variable "ckeck_args" and the next line checks the value of "check_args" ('k' != 'h').	Thomas Klausner <tk>
