Hi, I want to specify a default location for a configuration file so that my program can find it from a define in config.h. I want to install the file as "/etc/lorica.conf". So I'll like to do something like this to get a defined value that can be used at compile time: AC_DEFINE([LORICA_CONF_FILE], ["$sysconfdir/lorica.conf"], [Full path to Lorica configuration file]) Unfortunately this doesn't work. In config.h I get: /* Full path to Lorica configuration file */ #define LORICA_CONF_FILE "$sysconfdir/lorica.conf" but I want: /* Full path to Lorica configuration file */ #define LORICA_CONF_FILE "/etc/lorica.conf" Is it possible to do this? Thanks, jules _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
