Hi, GNU Automake will generate a broken Makefile when configuring if some variables containing line breaks.
If variable A is defined as: ```autoconf A=$(cat a.txt)` AC_SUBST([A]) ``` And `a.txt` contains: ```text line 1 line 2 ``` Then the generated `Makefile.in` will contain: ```makefile A=@A@ ``` And the generated `Makefile` will contain: ```makefile A=line 1 line 2 ``` When configuring, `config.status` will report: ```text config.status: executing depfiles commands config.status: error: in '/workspaces/a': config.status: error: Something went wrong bootstrapping makefile fragments for automatic dependency tracking. If GNU make was not used, consider re-running the configure script with MAKE="gmake" (or whatever is necessary). You can also try re-running configure with the '--disable-dependency-tracking' option to at least be able to build the package (albeit without support for automatic dependency tracking). See 'config.log' for more details ``` `config.log`: ```text config.status:1191: executing depfiles commands config.status:1268: cd srclib && sed -e '/# am--include-marker/d' Makefile | make -f - am--depfiles /tmp/GmXRgxDy:359: *** missing separator. Stop. config.status:1273: $? = 2 config.status:1277: error: in '/workspaces/a': config.status:1279: error: Something went wrong bootstrapping makefile fragments for automatic dependency tracking.
