Hello, I wrote a program that uses data files at runtime. I store them in $pkgdatadir, and it works fine.
Sometimes I want to execute the program without installing it. To do this, I change the value of the $pkgdatadir variable at make time: make pkgdatadir=... I wonder if I could modify and cache $pkgdatadir variable when running configure, to avoid having to specify the value of pkgdatadir every time I am recompiling. I tried to use AC_SUBST(pkgdatadir), but this makes that the $pkgdatadir value is void if I don't define it when configuring because it overrides the Automake definition $datadir/$packagename. Is it possible to do what I want? 1. If pkgdatadir is not specified at configure time, follow the FHS or GNU guidelines. 2. If pkgdatadir is specified, store its value in the configure cache. Thank you, Alberto _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
