Well, perhaps I understand less of autoconf than I thought I did. I tried to put GIT_VERSION=`$(ac_top_srcdir)/GIT-VERSION-GEN` in there before even looking for help here, but $(ac_top_srcdir) isn't set at that point. I literally have GIT_VERSION=`./GIT-VERSION-GEN` AC_SUBST(GIT_VERSION) AH_TEMPLATE([GIT_VERSION], [Git revision of this build]) in my configure.ac file. It seems like AC_CONFIG_COMMAND runs too late for the variables to be put in config.h, is that right? I suspect I'm revealing a deep ignorance of what is actually going on under the hood here, but I really appreciate the help.
