Hi Eric, Sorry, here you are: I've tried many permutations of quoting, but obviously I'm missing a fundamental understanding for this use case: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AC_DEFUN([SUPPORT_TEST], [ AC_MSG_CHECKING([for test]) test_executable="$$][(top_builddir)/scripts/test/bin/my_test" AC_SUBST(QMTEST, [$test_executable]) AC_MSG_RESULT([done]) ]) Evaluates to: 22839(top_builddir)/scripts/test_harness/test/bin/my_test I need $(top_builddir)/scripts/test_harness/test/bin/my_test ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks, Justin On 4/14/11 11:35 AM, "Eric Blake" <eblake@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >On 04/14/2011 12:27 PM, Too, Justin A. wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> I need some help with m4 quoting, http://pastebin.com/xzQNKCFv yet >>again =) > >That didn't resolve.
