Hi,
I've been working on a project, Ganglia, that is built with autotools
Included in the source tree are templates for various configuration
files (e.g. modpython.conf.in). Some of these include hard coded paths.
It seems appropriate to replace the hardcoded paths with substitutions
(e.g. @sysconfdir@) - however, if the template is processed by
configure, then the generated config file sometimes includes a value
like ${prefix}/etc rather than an absolute path like /opt/ganglia-3.1/etc
Therefore, I felt that I should be aiming to have the config files
generated at the last moment - probably during `make install', just
before they are installed. Can anyone suggest best practice for doing this?
Regards,
Daniel
