I'd like to use a config.h that not only has been processed by AC_CONFIG_HEADER but also via AC_CONFIG_FILE + AC_OUTPUT, purely because i also wanted to use my own variables @VAR@ that were computed in the configure.ac file. By default if you just use AC_CONFIG_HEADER it does not process @VAR@. I could not find any instructions, but by trial and error found this procedure worked in the configure.ac file: AC_CONFIG_HEADER([config.h:config.h.tmp]) .... AC_CONFIG_FILES([config.h.tmp:config.h.in]) AC_OUTPUT This would process the config.h.in file into a .tmp file, which is then turned into a config.h file, to be included by the code. So, the question is perhaps better phrased as: I am doing something where there is a better solution for? (apart from having two .h files) - peter _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
