M4 (through autom4te) processes `testsuite.at' to make `testsuite', a shell script that harnesses tests. m4_include acts entirely during the M4 processing stage. `$abs_srcdir' is a shell variable; it means nothing until you execute `testsuite' as a shell script. > Is there a way to have m4_include expand > the variables I need, or failing that, some way to replace m4_include > with a workaround? If your Makefile stanza for generating `testsuite' is like the one documented in the 'Making testsuite scripts' node in the Info documentation, this should work: m4_include([type1/testsuite.at]) It is Make passing `-I $(srcdir)' to autom4te that you need for this to work. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
