Thanks for the report. What shell are you using as /bin/sh? | 51. m4sh.at:163: testing ... | ./m4sh.at:199: autom4te --language=m4sh script.as -o script | ./m4sh.at:200: ./script | --- /dev/null 2009-01-29 06:54:28.586728317 +0100 | +++ /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/autoconf-2.63/tests/testsuite.dir/at-groups/51/stderr | 2009-02-22 18:56:02.000000000 +0100 | @@ -0,0 +1,2 @@ | +./script: line 551: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ``' | +./script: line 557: syntax error: unexpected end of file | ./m4sh.at:200: exit code was 2, expected 0 Looking at the generated script, I see that line 551 falls in: | echo=`$as_echo_n ' | \c'` So it seems like your shell has a bug in its handling of `` that contains a ''-quoted newline. We need to know more about this shell, to see whether this is something that autoconf needs to be aware of and avoid. [I know that bash 4.0 was released last week, but have not yet had a chance to test it on autoconf, to see if it introduces any shell bugs over bash 3.2] - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
