If you mean that all settings should propagate from config.vars to configure, then config.vars (or a script that sources it) should just call ./configure --prefix=... --sysconfdir=... If OTOH you mean that all settings should propagate from configure to config.vars, then you can list config.vars in AC_CONFIG_FILES and create a file config.vars.in with contents prefix='@prefix@' datarootdir='@datarootdir@' ... Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf
