Hello, Software development projects can grow in the way that corresponding components will be stored in several subdirectories. Such a project organisation has got consequences on the management of some dependencies. Now I am looking for advanced support by the Autoconf software infrastructure (and related tools) once more. * Macros like “AC_CONFIG_SUBDIR_CUSTOM” were developed a while ago. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2011-04/msg00006.html * The components in these subdirectories will usually need some information also from the global build system settings. A portion of the involved configuration variables will eventually store relative paths. I imagine that desired data processing for them can trigger special development challenges then. How do you prefer to achieve consistent and safe access for paths across the directory hierarchy? Which programming languages would you try out to convert such data into absolute paths (for example)?
