Re: Problem with AC_PATH_PROG

[Giuseppe Greco]

Roy,

Here's my scenario:

I wrote the ZT_CHECK_PROG macro, and I include it
into another macro (also written by myself) called
ZT_INIT_TEXDOC().

Well, if I include ZT_CHECK_PROC into ZT_INIT_TEXDOC,
it doesn't function (TEX, TEX4HT, etc. are not set),
while if I include AC_PATH_PROG directly into
ZT_INIT_TEXDOC, the substitution takes place (TEX,
TEX4HT, etc. are set correctly).

So, the problem arises only when I call AC_PATH_PROG
indirectly (into another macro defined by myself).

Now, could someone explain me why? Is there a workaround?

Thanks,

Giuseppe
