I don't know what the right thing to do is. But have you tried a couple of tests - configure, make, make install using, say: --program-suffix=a --program-prefix=b --program-transform-name='s/(g)/a\1b/' --program-prefix="A'B" I don't even know if the top level autoconf script will let you do some of these. I suspect it won't, I found serious problems there before. Also, make sure /bin/sh is bash rather than ash; autoconf falls down with backslashes in arguments otherwise. -- Daniel Jacobowitz MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer
