Should I just add it to CPPFLAGS? Please > tell me. The Autoconf manual tells the tale: A corollary is that you should not use these variables except in Makefiles. For instance, instead of trying to evaluate `datadir' in `configure' and hardcoding it in Makefiles using e.g. `AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(DATADIR, "$datadir")', you should add `-DDATADIR="$(datadir)"' to your `CPPFLAGS'.
