Follow-up Comment #5, sr #110503 (project autoconf): I tried just now to flesh out the fragment you provided into a complete test case, and I failed. Given this configure.ac
AC_INIT([issue110503], [1]) AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign]) # check for gtk-doc m4_ifdef([GTK_DOC_CHECK], [ GTK_DOC_CHECK([1.14],[--flavour no-tmpl]) ],[ AM_CONDITIONAL([ENABLE_GTK_DOC], false) ]) AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile]) AC_OUTPUT and a stub Makefile.am to match, autoreconf -iv prints: autoreconf: export WARNINGS= autoreconf: Entering directory '.' autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext autoreconf: running: aclocal autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Intltool autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gtkdoc autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Autoheader autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --no-force configure.ac:2: installing './install-sh' configure.ac:2: installing './missing' autoreconf: Leaving directory '.' This with Autoconf 2.71. Please supply us with a _complete_ configure.ac that reproduces the problem. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?110503> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
