I am trying to extend the pathing conventions so that configure can be called with an additional path variable. I can pass the built in paths on the command line, e.g. configure --sysconfdir=/etc but I cannot find a way to pass in variables which are extensions of the predefined ones. Since I am doing cross-system development, I would like to be able to specify the init script directory from the command line, since the product is build on the target machine from a script which has its variables assigned on a command line generated on another machine. So, what I wanted to do was have a sysinitdir variable so that I could write configure --sysinitdir=/etc/init.d. The only way I have found to extend configure's command line is through the AC_ARG_ENABLE. But, this macro requires a syntax of the form enable-variable or disable-variable, which is not really what I want. The question is, is there some sort of hook so that I can expand the option set to configure, that has command line checking, etc like the built-in path variables do? _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
