15 dnl This is a basic Autoconf configure.ac file for Python-based
16 dnl projects. It is not intended to be used as-is, but rather to be
17 dnl modified to the specific needs of the project.
19 dnl Lines prefixed with "dnl" are comments that are automatically
20 dnl removed by Autoconf/M4, thus they will not appear in the generated
21 dnl configure script (see the M4 documentation for more information).
22 dnl Such comments are used in this file to communicate information to
23 dnl you, the developer. In some cases, the comments contain extra
24 dnl macros that you might consider including in your configure script.
25 dnl If you wish to include them, simply remove the "dnl" from the
26 dnl beginning of the line.
28 dnl Lines prefixed with "#" are comments that will appear in the
29 dnl generated configure script. These comments are thus used to clarify
30 dnl to the user what is happening in that script
32 dnl Wherever pyconfigure-specific macros are used, extra comments are
33 dnl included to describe the macros.

104 dnl With the following set of macros, we implement an option
105 dnl "--with-virtualenv", which the user can pass to the configure
106 dnl script in order to install to a Virtualenv (AC_ARG_WITH). If the
107 dnl option is specified by the user, then we check if the program is
108 dnl available, checking both for "virtualenv" and "virtualenv2"
112 # Support doing development in a virtualenv via the --with-virtualenv
114 AC_ARG_WITH([virtualenv],

128 dnl If the program uses sphinx-build to build documentation, uncomment
129 dnl this to create a SPHINXBUILD variable in the Makefile pointing to
130 dnl the program. Thus, the user would specify
131 dnl SPHINXBUILD=/path/to/sphinx-build as an argument to the configure
132 dnl script. Since building the documentation should be optional, just
133 dnl print a warning. If the program uses some other documentation
134 dnl system, you can do something similar with it.
