Could you show to me (and also to other people) a configure.ac example how to to use it? Yes I just need to use only iconv() library and ICONV_CONST macro in C source code which is provided by autoconf macro AM_ICONV. > autoreconf deals with gettext for convenience. It does not know about gnulib modules. > > > projects which needs to use AM_ICONV started providing their own "autogen.sh" script which copies required file config.rpath to current directory and then run autoreconf. > > This is not future-proof: if new files (.m4 files or else) are needed as new dependencies of iconv.m4, this method will not know about it. I know. But all projects started doing it due to above unfixed bug in autoreconf/autopoint/gettext and it started to be de-facto start way how to workaround above bug. And I'm just following this way. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?110435> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
