Hello,
I am running on Linux (Fedora 17 to be exact) and have a directory
called: /home/jjohnstn/runtime-NewConfiguration(2)/hello
The directory was generated by Eclipse as a workspace directory. It
defaults the name each time and adds numerics if the default name is
already in use.
What is happening is that I have a simple configure.ac for a hello world
program:
dnl Process this file with autoconf to produce a configure script.
AC_PREREQ(2.59)
AC_INIT(hello, 1.0)
AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE()
AC_PROG_CC
AC_CONFIG_FILES(Makefile src/Makefile)
AC_OUTPUT
When I try to configure it, there is a generated call to "missing" and
the call adds the directory name it has calculated but it fails because
the () chars are not escaped. This occurs whether I change to the
directory and run it as ./configure or whether I specify an absolute
directory and escape the () chars myself.
Is there a way for me to get around this or this is simply a bug?
I am using autoconf 2.68
Thanks,
-- Jeff J.
