a question about automake

[huangwei]

Dear all,

I am a Newbie about automake.

I am confused in the makefile.in,because in it there are many variables
like as follows:

...
LIBS = @LIBS@
...

When I type configure ,using LIBS=/home/yiyid/usr/lib (non-standard lib
directory),but
int the makefile generated automatically ,the value of LIBS will be the
system default
path + the path which I have set.

Could tell me how to solve it then?


And another question,
how to let the same variable in makefile.in of subdirectors be set at the
same time?
I have set the top directory makefile, but it seem that the makefiles in
the subdirectory
can't be set.

Thanks a lot for your advice.


Regards,
Andy
