Submission from: (NULL) (205.149.168.248)


BeOS port of autoconf is 2.12, direct from GNU.  As provided, configure.in and
aclocal.m4 together define PACKAGE and VERSION as 1, not strings.  Culprit is
aclocal.m4, which uses the autoconf-2.13 three-argument variant of
AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED to generate the #define PACKAGE and #define VERSION lines. 
2.12 accepts only two-argument version.

Patch either with
====
diff -r1.91 configure.in
10c10
< AC_PREREQ(2.12)
---
> AC_PREREQ(2.13)
====

to force roll-forward to autoconf-2.13, where three-argument is legal, or

====
diff -r1.12 aclocal.m4
476,477c476,477
< AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(PACKAGE, "$PACKAGE", [Name of package])
< AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(VERSION, "$VERSION", [Version number of package]))
---
> AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(PACKAGE, "$PACKAGE")
> AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(VERSION, "$VERSION"))
====

to return to the two-argument form which is accepted in 2.12.
