Hi, I am writing a script.in file that is supposed to finally produce a script.sh file by automake. In this script.in, I like to refer the full path name of two utilities: sed and tar, hence I use @SED@ and @TAR@ int my script.in as a place holder. By add 'AC_PROG_SED‘ in my configure.ac, I get the @SED@ works for me. But since there is no AC_PROG_TAR, I don't know how to make my @TAR@ works. Can someone please give me a hint? And, more generally, how to detect the full path of an external program?
