Hi,
If I use AM_SILENT_RULES([yes]) in my configure.ac, when I run the
configure scripts I see this:
...
checking whether make supports nested variables... yes
checking whether make supports nested variables... (cached) yes
...
If I remove AM_SILENT_RULES, the test is only done once.
Is this intended behaviour ?
I don't know. But AM_SILENT_RULES is supplied by automake, not autoconf,
so it's better to ask your question on the correct list. I've gone
ahead and updated the CC's accordingly.
I'm on an updated Debian Stretch system using (Debian version syntax):
autoconf 2.69-10
automake 1:1.15-6
Regards Jacob
