Re: Proper m4 quoting

[Too, Justin A.]

Hi Eric,

Sorry, here you are:

I've tried many permutations of quoting, but obviously I'm missing a
fundamental understanding for this use case:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

AC_DEFUN([SUPPORT_TEST],
[
AC_MSG_CHECKING([for test])

test_executable="$$][(top_builddir)/scripts/test/bin/my_test"
AC_SUBST(QMTEST, [$test_executable])

AC_MSG_RESULT([done])
])


Evaluates to: 

22839(top_builddir)/scripts/test_harness/test/bin/my_test

I need

$(top_builddir)/scripts/test_harness/test/bin/my_test


------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks,
Justin
