Sorry, it's been a while since I looked at how this project is being packaged. ;)
I have a few Makefile.am that include sections like this: DirTree.pl: DirTree.pl.in @rm -f spider.pl @sed \ -e 's,@@perlmoduledir@@,$(libexecdir)/perl,' \ -e 's,@@swishbindir@@,$(bindir),' \ -e 's,@@perlbinary@@,$(PERL),' \ $(srcdir)/DirTree.pl.in > DirTree.pl I'm wondering why I'm not letting configure make those substitutions. @PERL@ is resolved when configure is run, but @bindir@ and @libexecdir@ end up as: bindir = ${exec_prefix}/bin libexecdir = ${exec_prefix}/lib/${PACKAGE} Can those be resolved at *configure* time to full paths? It would be nice to make those substitutions at configure time and avoid the need for the above sed commands in my Makefile.am files. Thanks, -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED]
