autoconf --trace MACROS works for AC_* marcoses only?

[pva0xd]

Hi.

Does autoconf --trace MACROS works for AC_* marcoses only? I've tried to
use it to find AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION macros, but it failed:

$ autoconf-2.63 -t AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION
$ grep AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION configure.ac
AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.12.1])
$

Is this correct behaviour? Thanks in advance for your time.

No, but autoconf needs to know what a macro is; IOW, it needs to see a
macro definition somewhere.

Running aclocal should help to get a definition of
AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION in place, if aclocal can find it.

HTH.

Cheers,
