Hello, In the manual, http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Invoking-aclocal, I read about the `--print-ac-dir' option: Prints the name of the directory that aclocal will search
to
find third-party .m4 files.
When this option is given, normal
processing is suppressed. This option can be used by a package to
determine where to install a macro file. I find the last sentence a bit strange because to me that sounds like Automake suggests that packagers should install macro files in a hard-coded directory not relative to $(prefix). IIUC that that contradicts the discussion in section "Install to Hard-Coded Locations" http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Hard_002dCoded-Install-Paths Cheers, Peter |
