I've had a need for writing specific messages into the log. Here's a
snippet that tests whether Ant (the java build tool) works:
pgac_cmd='$ANT -buildfile conftest.xml 1>&2'
AC_TRY_EVAL(pgac_cmd)
pgac_save_status=$?
if test $? = 0 && test -f ./conftest.class ; then
pgac_cv_prog_ant_works=yes
else
echo "configure: failed java program was:" >&AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD
cat conftest.java >&AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD
echo "configure: failed build file was:" >&AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD
cat conftest.xml >&AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD
pgac_cv_prog_ant_works=no
fi
This simulates the log output from regular compiler tests.
