I need to include some paths in AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR which contain spaces. How should I escape them? For example, if I have "some file.in", how should I declare it in:
AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR[some file]
A:
In autoconf 2.59 and earlier, you cannot have special characters in the path name of the unique file specified in AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR. In autoconf 2.60 and later, this should work:
AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([some file])

That doesn't work for me. This is interpreted as a list of two files: 'some' and 'file'.

What version of autoconf? Looking through the ChangeLog, it looks like this should work as of June 23, 2005, which I believe means it won't work with autoconf 2.59.
