The configure.ac script initializes the CLIENT variable this way: CLIENT=birdcl if client enabled CLIENT=$CLIENT birdc fi This means that checking if @CLIENT@ is empty to decide whether birdc should be installed or not doesn't work, and causes a failure at installation time when --disable-client is passed. Instead, check if the birdc binary has been produced or not to decide whether it should be installed.
