I'd like to do something like AC_PATH_PROG([PGCONFIG],[pg_config]... followed by employing the path PGCONFIG in a shell command and assigning the value returned. If it was found, i.e. if there is a pg_config on the system. Within configure.ac ... PGLIBDIR=$($PGCONFIG --libdir) or something, then AC_SUBST([PGLIBDIR]) But that attempt substitutes a blank. Others like it no better. I thought it was possible to execute shell commands in configure.ac but a few hours searching the manual has got me nowhere. Is such a thing possible? How? _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
