hi all im not very familiar with autoconf currently so im not sure my following assumptions are correct so, afaik, autoconf and its resulting configure script set many variables e.g. exec_prefix or bindir, ... what i try to achive is extract an expanded representation of all variables configure can/will set the reason is 1) im just interested about the resulting variables, just to know which can be used 2) i want use those variables from configure to search/replace using a c++ template engine, so i need to pipe all configure variables to the template engine thats why i need the variables configure produces fully expanded i tried a configure.in like this AC_INIT() set but exec_prefix is for example 'NONE' but should be /usr/local which indeed makes sense cause AC_OUTPUT is missing so any help on this would be great thx @ ll _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
