If you want to share values across multiple Makefiles, it sounds more like an automake question for what to put in your Makefile.am. So I'm not quite sure how best to answer your question, other than to say that yes, automake supports nesting sub-projects with their own configure.ac while still allowing the child projects to inherit values substituted in the parent project configure. -- Eric Blake eblake@xxxxxxxxxx +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
