I would stick by that instead (which is already better than what the current makefile does). >From the autoconf manual [1] : ====== Similarly, you should not rely on AC_CONFIG_FILES to replace bindir and friends in your shell scripts and other files; instead, let make manage their replacement. For instance Autoconf ships templates of its shell scripts ending with ‘.in’, and uses a makefile snippet similar to the following to build scripts like autoheader and autom4te: edit = sed \ -e 's|@bindir[@]|$(bindir)|g' \ -e 's|@pkgdatadir[@]|$(pkgdatadir)|g' \ -e 's|@prefix[@]|$(prefix)|g' ====== I've seen this done a lot of times in many Makefile.am in many projects, it really is a standard idiom and we should use it too. </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> Wow, thanks a million.
