Oh, sure, I guess that would be fine. In the macro, you'd have to
change the AC_ARG_ENABLE argument ACTION-IF-GIVEN though:
test "$enableval" != "no" && NAME_OF_RANDOM_DEVICE=$enableval
to set the value in any case (so the user can override your defaults),
and avoid the warning later that file `no' does not exist:
AC_CHECK_FILE($NAME_OF_RANDOM_DEVICE,,
AC_MSG_WARN([[device for (strong) random data `$NAME_OF_RANDOM_DEVICE'
does not exist]]))
Or am I missing something here (untested)?
Cheers,
Ralf
