acinclude.m4 On my system (openSUSE 12.2 / GNU bash, version 4.2.24(1)-release (x86_64-suse-linux-gnu) ), the shell doesn't like that the '=' character in 'if test...' doesn't have spaces around it. This causes the test to always be true, and thus the AS_AC_EXPAND macro only expands once. This led to two #define's in config.h containing broken values: HEXCHATSHAREDIR and DBUS_SERVICES_DIR. 2012-09-20 22:04:14 +08:00
