Hi All, I am new to Automake tools. I am going to ask a very common use scenario. Please point me to relevant articles if it is already discussed.
Problem: I have a definition of a variable like this in the source Makefile.am file: SD_BASE_DIR = $(srcdir)/../../../../.. Obviously "SD_BASE_DIR" definition works only in my developing environment setup. I want to override this variable at ./configure time. Example: ../configure SD_BASE_DIR ="/home/chetan/SD" When I provide my source to some other developer, he just has to re-define SD_BASE_DIR variable to point to his source base directory location. I am not finding out how to do it. It is a very common scenario, so I am sure there must be a way out.. but it is not obvious to me. Thanks in advance for any help. -- Chetan Raj
