So I'm just dnl appending the comments here in case you have, and want to fix dnl AX_FUNC_MKDIR that way. dnl dnl |Thomas E. Dickey (dickey@herndon4.his.com) said: dnl | it doesn't cover the problem areas (compilers that mistreat mkdir dnl | may prototype it in dir.h and dirent.h, for instance). dnl | dnl |Alexandre: dnl | Would it be sufficient to check for these headers and #include dnl | them in the AC_COMPILE_IFELSE block? (and is AC_HEADER_DIRENT dnl | suitable for this?) dnl | dnl |Thomas: dnl | I think that might be a good starting point (with the set of recommended dnl | ifdef's and includes for AC_HEADER_DIRENT, of course).
