Hello, I'm not very familiar with autoconf so forgive me if I'm wrong, but it looks like AC_MSG_NOTICE is not in autoconf 2.13 but it is being used by buildconf which specifies an AC_PREREQ(2.13)
This results in an undefined macro error which buildconf ignores. $ autoconf2.13 autoconf: Undefined macros: configure.in:177: AC_MSG_NOTICE([Using external PCRE library from $PCRE_CONFIG]) configure.in:182: AC_MSG_NOTICE([Configuring PCRE regular expression library]) $ echo $? 1 configure then bails because the macro is not substituted: checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E ./configure: line 2858: syntax error near unexpected token `Using' ./configure: line 2858: ` AC_MSG_NOTICE(Using external PCRE library from $PCRE_CONFIG)' This is on httpd 2.2 trunk. I can file a bug a report if someone confirms that this is indeed a bug. Thanks! -Tim
