5.10.10 Algol 68 Compiler
-------------------------

Autoconf provides basic support for the Algol 68 programming language
when using the ‘ga68’ compiler.

   Note that the GCC Algol 68 front-end is not yet integrated in the
main compiler, so it is developed and distributed off-tree.  See
.  Additional information
about the Algol 68 programming language, and how it is being evolved by
the GNU Algol 68 Working Group can be found at
.

 — Macro: AC_PROG_A68([COMPILER-SEARCH-LIST])
     Find the Algol 68 compiler to use.  Check whether the environment
     variable ‘A68’ is set; if so, then set output variable ‘A68’ to its
     value.

     Otherwise, if the macro is invoked without an argument, then search
     for an Algol 68 compiler named ‘ga68’.  If it is not found, then as
     a last resort set ‘A68’ to ‘ga68’.

     This macro may be invoked with an optional first argument which, if
     specified, must be a blank-separated list of Algol 68 compilers to
     search for.

     If output variable ‘A68FLAGS’ was not already set, set it to ‘-g
     -O2’.  If your package does not like this default, ‘A68FLAGS’ may
     be set before ‘AC_PROG_A68’.
