Dear all,
I apologise in advance if this message is sent to the wrong forum.
I have been using the autoconf/make programs on Debian GNU/Linux for some
months now and have found them to be very good. However, I have the
following question:
If I define more than one header with AC_CONFIG_HEADER, (e.g. config.h and
src/defs.h (I have also created a suitable src/defs.h.in)) then if I
define a definition with AC_DEFINE (I used AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED) the
substitution works when I run ./configure but when I run autoheader I get
errors because I have not included the definition in acconfig.h. However,
I must add it to acconfig.h as otherwise I cannot run `make distclean'
(autoheader fails again). If I do add it, then it is included in both
config.h and src/defs.h, and I get redefinition errors when compiling.
Is there a way around this? I only want the definition to be substituted
in src/defs.h.
If there is no way to do this then could I suggest this improvement to
autoheader: When autoheader parses configure.in, if there is a definition
that it does not find in acconfig.h, could it also parse additional
foo.h.in's specified by including foo.h with AC_CONFIG_HEADER.
Many thanks for your help,
Roger Leigh
