--disable-selinux-build not working

[SCOTT-HAMILTON]

Hello, I'm trying to package openvpn3@13_beta for NixOS. I tried to disable the selinux build (that is only needed for distros like fedora) with --disable-selinux-build but I it seems like this switch is ignored :

./configure: line 8859: syntax error near unexpected token `${datarootdir}/selinux/devel,'
./configure: line 8859: `        AX_RECURSIVE_EVAL(${datarootdir}/selinux/devel, selinux_devel_path)'

Reproducing

1. install nix cf https://nixos.org/guides/install-nix.html
2. run :

   $ nix-store -r $(nix-instantiate -E 'import (builtins.fetchTarball {
   url = "http://github.com/SCOTT-HAMILTON/Nixpkgs/archive/5041c3e9106cb7180c2401804d3d9d7b2be3f508.tar.gz";
   sha256 = "1v7kpc4lz77sx66dd2bvdqwspk8aim4x1libdw65rxbb7f6dsdj8";
   }) {}' -A openvpn3)

Here is the full build log :

NB : I also have to ask if openvpn3 is under agpl3Only or agpl3Plus license cf https://www.gnu.org/licenses/identify-licenses-clearly.html.

You are missing the autoconf-archive package.

Ok, thank you, it worked. I missed that one when reading threw your README. My mistake.
