A good and proper define-in-one-place fix for version stamps is a really good idea. Sticking the original version string into an AC_INIT() m4 macro is _not_ a good idea. It needs to be in a readily accessible place. Which is exactly what AC_INIT does, it sets PACKAGE_VERSION, PACKAGE_NAME and other such variables that should be used instead. > ! AC_INIT([GNU sharutils],m4_defn([sharutils_version]),m4_defn([sharutils_eaddr])) I was about to ask of sharutils_eaddr needed an "m4_defn()" wrapper, too. :-) Happy hacking!
