Weird behaviour of AM_CONDITIONAL

[Thibaut Le Guilly]

Hello everybody,

I first hope that I choose the right mailing list to expose my issue, and if
I didn't please excuse my mistake.

I've spent some days working with autotools in order to build a shared
library, and everything went fine except a really weird issue that I have
using AM_CONDITIONAL and the if else statement.

I am using AM_CONDITIONAL to enable a user to choose between one kind of
library and another one with :

AM_CONDITIONAL([ENABLE_A], [test x$condition=xyes])

In my Makefile.am file, I'm using :

if ENABLE_A
lib_la_SOURCES += \
fileA.c\
fileA.h
else
lib_la_SOURCES += \
fileB.c\
fileB.h
endif

My problem is that it always enter in the if statement even when $condition
is equal to 'no'. In fact, I used AC_MSG_RESULT in order to check its value,
but in the generated Makefile, I always find the fileA.c/.h whatever the
value of condition is.

I really tried a lot of stuff, like using two AM_CONDITIONAL like :
AM_CONDITIONAL([ENABLE_A], [test x$condition=xyes])
AM_CONDITIONAL([DISABLE_A], [test x$condition=xno])

with two different if statement (if ENABLE_A and if DISBALE_A), but then
both fileA.c/.h and fileB.c/.h were included in the sources.

Am I doing something wrong? Do you know how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance to anybody who could help me!
