In Makefile.am, I wrote an custom rule which append the program's path to the startup script. it looks like:
echo $(datadir)/myprogram/program-name $OPTIONS >> /bin/program-name I want to get : /usr/share/myprogram/program-name $OPTIONS however, waht I accully get is : /usr/share/myprogram/program-name PTIONS I try to add an '\' before '$', but it doesn't works.
