Hi, Autoconf straight out of CVS will complain about "backquotes and doublequotes should not be backslashed" when expanding the macro code of _LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK libtool.m4. This is against the head branch -- I haven't checked if the 1.3 branch and/or the multi-language branch should be fixed in the same manner. BTW, there seems to be many minor problems when bootstrapping libtool from the head CVS branch with the latest Autoconf and Automake (i.e. from CVS). Is that supposed to work? If yes, I'll probably give it a look-over and possibly send a bunch of patches to fix the issues which pops up. Regards, Morten
