I hope it's ok to ask here, since i'm not sure if this is an autoconf or automake issue.
I have an AUTHORS file, and I pull it in in configure.in like this : AUTHORS=`cat AUTHORS` AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(AUTHORS, "$AUTHORS") AC_SUBST(AUTHORS) When AUTHORS is more than one line, of course this doesn't work, I get sed errors running configure. My question is basically, what is the cleanest way to pull in the AUTHORS file and protect the newlines some way that later on the AUTHORS variable expands to a multiline where appropriate (for example, in a generated spec file) ?
