Yep. Most likely (I haven't looked at it) the script messes up command line arguments in a way the Automake depcomp script does not yet detect. Actually, I'd bet on this (having found bugs in such scripts before). Ed, what you can do to debug this: - look at the output of configure (messages plus config.log) around `checking dependency style of..' - invoke your script with debug options (`set -x' if it's a shell script) to see where it messes up - post a location where one can download and have a look at the script Regards, Ralf -- Ed Hartnett -- ed@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
