config.h variable substitution

[Jules Colding]

Hi,

I want to specify a default location for a configuration file so that my
program can find it from a define in config.h.

I want to install the file as "/etc/lorica.conf". So I'll like to do
something like this to get a defined value that can be used at compile
time:

AC_DEFINE([LORICA_CONF_FILE], ["$sysconfdir/lorica.conf"], [Full path to Lorica 
configuration file])


Unfortunately this doesn't work. In config.h I get:

/* Full path to Lorica configuration file */
#define LORICA_CONF_FILE "$sysconfdir/lorica.conf"


but I want:

/* Full path to Lorica configuration file */
#define LORICA_CONF_FILE "/etc/lorica.conf"


Is it possible to do this?


Thanks,
