20:57 <fche> jistone, aclocal.m4 is usually generated from m4/* by aclocal

20:57 <fche> so if something went straight into aclocal.m4, it took a dangerous shortcut!

20:57 <jistone> but I don't know how or why

20:57 <fche> whodunnit?

20:57 <fche> well, you can always copy & paste those bits into a new m4/* file

20:57 <fche> aclocal -Im4 should find them and copy right right bakc.

20:57 <fche> and BACK too

20:58 <jistone> "aclocal -Im4" did nothing new here

20:58 <jistone> oh, aclocal -Im4 --install

20:58 <jistone> this copied it

20:58 <jistone> weird

20:58 <fche> wild

20:59 <jistone> and now those all disappeared from aclocal.m4

20:59 <jistone> I guess that's good

20:59 <fche> a future aclocal should bring them back if configure.ac calls for them

20:59 <fche> AIUI

21:00 <jistone> I'm confused what is desired here

21:00 <jistone> just running "aclocal" makes a huge aclocal.m4

21:01 <fche> that's correct

21:01 <fche> autoconf takes macros from that file to serve configure.ac

21:01 <jistone> now "aclocal -Im4" reduces the file, presumably using m4/ stuff

21:01 <fche> that's .. mysterious

21:01 <fche> but I'll leave you to it - dinner calls! ... moohahah /me runs away screaming

21:04 <jistone> autoconf et al are black magic, forming a veritable cargo cult

21:04 <fche> but it really works!!!

21:04 <fche> wait, dinner time

21:04 <fche> never mind
