But emacs Shell mode sets the environment variable EMACS to "t". This causes the output of autoconf's AC_CHECK_PROG(EMACS, ...) to set EMACS="t", with the result that in any Makefile generated from EMACS = @EMACS@ in Makefile.in end up with the makefile variable EMACS set to "t". One example where this is a problem is the current (Sept 10) CVS version of gnuplot. It's not clear to me who should change: autoconf, emacs, developers using emacs as a built tool, or users like me. If it's one of the latter two, a warning would be nice. Perhaps the simplest solution would be for emacs Shell to either not set EMACS or set it to "emacs". emacs version: 21.3.1 autoconf version: 2.60 m4 version: 1.4.6 system: fedora core 1 gnu/linux ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
