Re: autoreconf and aclocal options (-I, --ac-dir)

[Vincent Torri]

put

AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR(m4)

in configure.(in/ac) after AC_INIT and before AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (it does 
not work for me if I put it after AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE)

and in the toplevel Makefile.am, put :

ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4

It works for me that way :)
