According to Luca Barbato on 5/20/2008 5:49 PM:
|
| actual code produced (from a patch to make gegl not having automagic deps)
|
| in configure.ac
|
| PKG_WITH_MODULES(AVCODEC, libavcodec,
|   have_libavcodec="yes",
|   have_libavcodec="no  (usable libavcodec not found)")

The bug is probably not in autoconf, but in your configure.ac.  You failed
to properly quote your code.  Reread
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Quotation-Rule-Of-Thumb,
then write this as:

PKG_WITH_MODULES([AVCODEC], [libavcodec],
~   [have_libavcodec="yes",
~   have_libavcodec="no  (usable libavcodec not found)"])

But I don't see any mention of AS_IF or AC_ARG_VAR in your snippet (ie.
your subject line is inconsistent with your pasted example).  Without
knowing the definition of PKG_WITH_MODULES, which is not an autoconf
macro, I can only guess that it too has underquoted arguments.
