Description of Problem: A configure.in script, which worked fine in 2.53, is now giving shell errors when run against autoconf-2.57. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): autoconf-2.57-1 How Reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. wget http:://cyberelk.net/tim/data/patchutils/stable/patchutils-0.2.17.tar.bz2 2. tar jxf patchutils-0.2.17-tar.bz2 3. cd patchutils-0.2.17 4. autoconf 5. ./configure Actual Results: [...] config.status: executing depfiles commands ./configure: eval: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' ./configure: eval: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file ./configure: eval: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' ./configure: eval: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file Expected Results: No error messages.
Works fine with autoconf-2.56 too. Looks like a potential new autoconf-2.57 bug. I'll ask about it upstream. If there isn't a simple fix, I'll probably revert to 2.56 for now.
Oh, wait, I just found this in configure.in: AC_SUBST(AC_LIBOBJ) That can't be right. I took it out and now it works. Sorry.
