Hello aaragon, indeed, you are pointing out a problem with the description of the macro AX_PREFIX_CONFIG_H in the top of ax_prefix_config_h.m4 .
(I'm ccing the maintainer of autoconf-archive.cryp.to and two of the three authors of the macro to report the problem to them.)

AC_OUTPUT Then: mkdir m4 && cp ../autoconf-archive.cryp.to/ax_prefix_config_h.m4 m4/ aclocal -I m4 && autoheader && autoconf && ./configure and voila, the configure output ends with config.status: creating config.h config.status: executing xga-config.h commands config.status: creating xga-config.h - prefix XGA for config.h defines (I have almost current m4 & Autoconf & Automake installed.) OOPS! I have tried again with the obsolete example you cite above and it works. aaragon, are you sure you have recent version of m4? Old versions had some nasty bugs. Also, is your copy of ax_prefix_config_h.m4 correct? Isn't it garbled by aweb browser? You should download the tarball of autoconf-archive, or use a similar feature, npasting from the URL mentioned in this thread might be unsafe.
