I have some libraries that I build, and some applications that are also built. The libraries are only required by my apps and I don't want to use the default installation especially for the debug version. I have used --prefix=/opt/mine/debug to build the libraries in a separate playground. Can I get configure to use the debug libraries? I have ended up with a very long command in a debug subdir: ../configure --prefix=/opt/mine/debug CFLAGS= '-g -O0 -DDEBUG -I../../include -I/opt/mine/debug/include' LDFLAGS='-L/opt/mine/debug/lib -Wl,-rpath /opt/mine/debug/lib' I tried adding VPATH=/opt/mine/debug/include to the configure command, but that didn't get passed on - do I need to add VPATH to the configure.ac file? The test for my home grown libraries failed during the configure stage. thanks dan _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
