If I delete the GUILE_FLAGS invocation, then all is fine. *sigh*. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

This means that these two files have to be imported in your project for this to work. I hadn’t noticed that, and I reckon that this is unfortunate. The change dates back to Feb. 2011, by Bruno, so we’d have to check the rationale. Thanks, Ludo’. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Thank you for the explanation. I am a big fan of comprehensible error messages and, as you'd guess, I don't think that "possibly undefined macro: AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS_FROM_LIBS" qualifies. Adding an AC_REQUIRE() would likely trigger something more meaningful. Having to trace down a comment in an m4 file is not very friendly. However, now that I know the issue, obviously I'll add these files to the list of things I grab from gnulib. Thank you again. Regards, Bruce ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
