AC_FUNC_MKDIR
Check whether mkdir() is mkdir or _mkdir, and whether it takes one or two arguments.
This macro can define HAVE_MKDIR, HAVE__MKDIR, and MKDIR_TAKES_ONE_ARG, which are expected to be used as follows:
#if HAVE_MKDIR # if MKDIR_TAKES_ONE_ARG /* MinGW32 */ # define mkdir(a, b) mkdir(a) # endif #else # if HAVE__MKDIR /* plain Windows 32 */ # define mkdir(a, b) _mkdir(a) # else # error "Don't know how to create a directory on this system." # endif #endif

So I'm just dnl appending the comments here in case you have, and want to fix dnl AC_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_TRY_COMPILE 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).
