Description (last modified by )
Using autoconf 2.69 on Gentoo, we hit the follow configure error i we autoreconf configure.ac.
checking for xapian-config-1.3... no configure: error: Can't find xapian-config, although the xapian-core runtime library seems to be installed. If you've installed xapian-core from a package, you probably need to install an extra package called something like xapian-core-devel in order to be able to build code using the Xapian library.
This is because project_version is not properly delimited with [...] on line 93 and this messes up the regex. The fix is trivial.
This is a problem in 1.3.4 and git/HEAD.

project_version
is intended to be substituted there by m4, so it's correct that it isn't quoted.So thanks for reporting, but this isn't a bug - it's an intentional fix for a bug in earlier versions:
If you actually want the previous behaviour, specify
XAPIAN_CONFIG
explicitly, which will work for 1.3.4 and older versions:
