[h323plus] aclocal path.

[Francisco Olarte (M)]

I've made a little patch to plugins/configure from CVS:


folarte at gkaps ~/tmp $ diff -u h323plus/plugins{/copia,}/configure

+      exit
+    fi
+  else

+    exit
+  fi
 fi

This works ok for me, with or without configure.h ( although haven't
manage to make aclocal fail ). Now configure does
the right thing for me:


=== configuring in plugins (/home/folarte/tmp/h323plus/plugins)
configure: running /bin/sh ./configure --disable-option-checking
'--prefix=/usr/local'  --cache-file=/dev/null --srcdir=.
aclocal.m4 not found in /home/folarte/tmp/h323plus/plugins, running
aclocal to make it.
aclocal.m4 generated.

I tried to make it in configure.ac

 PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG()

But then If I run autoconf I get a vastly different configure

folarte at gkaps ~/tmp/h323plus/plugins $ diff configure copia | wc
  15890   73638  517210

Maybe because my autoconf is different?

Hope this helps.
