Hey all,
I'm wondering if there is a best practice for getting paths such as
locaeldir or datadir into source code. As it stands now in the Makefile
I've got:
prefix= /usr/local
datarootdir= ${prefix}/share
localedir = ${datarootdir}/locale
To get localedir into a source file, I've got a section in Makefile.am like:
DEFS = -DLOCALEDIR="\"$(localedir)\"" @DEFS@
This is the preferred solution indeed. Not that I see a need for @DEFS@
though:
One of the problems with the "preferred solution" is that it's not trivial
to pass the flags through a script (for example, a wrapper for a
compiler, or test-application). Putting them in the generated config.h
doesn't run into that problem.
