[Sablevm-developer] $(M4)

[David <db...@cs...>]

Hi Etienne,

I noticed that you replaced the m4 command with a ${M4} variable.
However it is currently defined in Makefile.am.

I don't know how it is on OpenBSD but with FreeBSD, I have to use
gm4.  In configure.ac in my sandbox, I have this line:
AC_CHECK_PROGS([M4],[gm4 m4],[none],[$PATH])
It does not check the GNUness of the m4 program but it will used gm4 if
found, otherwise check for m4.  If neither gm4 nor m4 is found, will set
M4 to none.  I guess ideally would need some if stmt for the none case.

What do you think of adding this to staging?

David
