Hi All,
Hi,
I am new to Automake tools. I am going to ask a very common use
scenario.
Please point me to relevant articles if it is already discussed.
Problem:
I have a definition of a variable like this in the source
Makefile.am file:
SD_BASE_DIR = $(srcdir)/../../../../..
Obviously "SD_BASE_DIR" definition works only in my developing
environment
setup.
I want to override this variable at ./configure time. Example:
../configure SD_BASE_DIR ="/home/chetan/SD"
When I provide my source to some other developer, he just has to re-
define
SD_BASE_DIR variable to point to his source base directory
location. I am
not finding out how to do it. It is a very common scenario, so I am
sure
there must be a way out.. but it is not obvious to me.
Simply add:
AC_SUBST([SD_BASE_DIR])
To your configure.ac and use $(SD_BASE_DIR) in your Makefile.am's.
Cheers,
