how do I get access to all the configure arguments?
my setup is as follows:
configure (generated from configure.in) generated shell script makemake from
makemake.in:
AC_CONFIG_FILES([makemake],[
echo "#!$SHELL" > makemake.tmp
echo "# Generated from makemake.in by configure using:" >> makemake.tmp
echo "CONFIG_SHELL=$SHELL" >> makemake.tmp
cat makemake >> makemake.tmp
mv makemake.tmp makemake
chmod a+x makemake
])
makemake writes Makefile which may call configure on subdirectories.
the reason I do not use AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS is that I do not want to configure
all the subdirs when I configure the core and the selection of the subdirs to
be configured can be changed at make time.
so, I want to know all the "--build", "--host" &c args passed to the top level
configure script in the makemake script (so that they are passed correctly to
the subdir configures).
I am thinking about replacing "cat" above with
sed "s,@module_configure_flags@,$ac_configure_args," makemake >> makemake.tmp
is this a legitimate approach?
also, it would be nice if autoconf offered such substitution automatically.
thanks
Sam.
