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.
18 dnl
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.
27 dnl
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
31 dnl
32 dnl Wherever pyconfigure-specific macros are used, extra comments are
33 dnl included to describe the macros.
