Howdy all! In my build, I allow the user to specify a location for a library, in case they have built the library but not installed it in /usr/lib, or some other place the loader checks automatically. The library is called HDF5, and the configure script allows them to do something like:
./configure --with-hdf5=/some/dir Then in each of my subdirs, I have the following in my Makefile.am files: # If the user specified a root for HDF5, use it. if USE_HDF5_DIR AM_CPPFLAGS += [EMAIL PROTECTED]@/include AM_LDFLAGS = [EMAIL PROTECTED]@/lib endif Is there a way to do this in one place for all subdirs? Or must this be done in each directory's Makefile.am? Is there some more automakeish way to handle this situation? Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to all U.S.A. readers!
