I'm just starting to work with the gnu autotools and I have a quick question about Automake. Inside Makefile.am I have access to the directory variables from the configure script such as datarootdir. I've gathered that these determine where specified files are put when you run make install. I can have various data files my program depends on put into standard directories.
So that's useful -- I can tell it to store data files in certain places under the datarootdir. However, I have not figured out how to tell where datarootdir is from inside my C code. I want to load up certain data files, but I don't know how that datarootdir variable is passed into the C code. It doesn't seem to be put in config.h. Thanks for your help and patience. As I said I am just getting started with autotools and do not understand them very well yet.
