Re: using content of an include file in configure.ac ...

[Ufuk Utku Turuncoglu (BE)]

Hi,

Thanks for your help. Okay, i can add the following line into Makefile.in,

@DO_COMPILE_LIBEXT_TRUE@ include @LIB_PREFIX@/def.ex

and it solves the problem but i just wonder that the automake solution. 
I think that automake will be much more generic solution. Do you have 
any idea about implementing that kind of logic in automake?

Thanks again,
