I am attempting to build a clean configure using autoconf. I've resolved
everything except the install entries in the makefiles. they all rely on
INSTALL. the following snippet is written to configure from the
acgeneral.m4 file:
ifdef([AC_PROVIDE_AC_PROG_INSTALL],
[ case "$ac_given_INSTALL" in
changequote(, )dnl
[/$]*) INSTALL="$ac_given_INSTALL" ;;
changequote([, ])dnl
*) INSTALL="$ac_dots$ac_given_INSTALL" ;;
esac
])dnl
prior to reaching this code, ac_given_INSTALL is set to
c:/djgpp/bin/ginstall by prior tests. However, after the test, ac_dots
is prepended, yeilding ../c:/djgpp/bin/ginstall, which fails during the
"make install" operation.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any work-around? I'm out of
my depth with m4 and bash shell scripts and don't want to blunder
around.
