Dear all, If a configure.ac file contains: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign]) It seems this gets executed very early in the generated configure script. For instance I tried to add the following invocation AC_MSG_NOTICE([Configuring mytool version AC_PACKAGE_VERSION]) _before_ the call to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, so the two following lines, in this order: AC_MSG_NOTICE([Configuring mytool version AC_PACKAGE_VERSION]) AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign]) I was expecting the message to be printed before the tests implied by the call to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE but htis is not what happened. Is there a possibility to get anything done before AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE takes place? Thanks, Seb.
