I am trying to do the following:
Depending on the target platform (available in $target from
AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM in configure.in) a variable OS_FLAGS in the
Makefile should be set to specifix values,
e.g. on Linux: OS_FLAGS = -DUNIX -DLINUX
I tried to add gnumake conditionals for this to Makefile.am, like
ifneq (,$findstring(linux,$(target)))
OS_FLAGS = -DUNIX -DLINUX
endif
Unfortunately, automake thinks these conditionals are automake
conditionals ("endif without if") and does not process the file.
Is there a way of "masking" conditionals from automake so it
simply passes the code on to Makefile.in?
Or is there an alternative way of getting the desired conditional
setting of OS_FLAGS done in configure.in?
TIA Ralf
