Re: How to correctly generate 'foobar.h' from 'foobar.h.in'

[Tao Wang]

Thank you. It works for my C/C++ files.
However, how it works on text file and script file? They don't have compiler
to pass the define from parameters. For most scripts, they don't accept bash
syntax "${prefix}", they do need the value of "${prefix}/share". How can I
do that?
