This is a way to do it for package "MyApp":

eval "eval DATA_DIR=$datadir"
AC_SUBST(DATA_DIR)
MyAppSharePath="${DATA_DIR}/MyApp"
MyAppSharePathDefine="${MyAppSharePath}/"
AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(MyAppSharePath,"$MyAppSharePathDefine",Directory where 
architecture-independent files live.)
AC_SUBST(MyAppSharePath)

The AC_SUBST(DATA_DIR) defines DATA_DIR, and the 
AC_SUBST(MyAppSharePath) defines MyAppSharePath, in case you also want 
to use it in your Makefiles (e.g. to support install).
