Hello,
The gist is to edit acinclude.m4 and I believe define a function,
which runs the commands and saves data to variables, then use those
(probably by adding -D defines to cflags or somesuch), and I think
have your function called from configure.in, then run commands
along these lines:
make distclean
rm pgsql/Makefile.in mysql/Makefile.in Makefile.in configure config.in
aclocal.m4 stamp-h.in buildtools/*
aclocal-1.4
autoconf2.13
autoheader2.13
automake-1.4 --add-missing
(that's on a debian box where eg. "aclocal" is a different version,
and dbmail currently needs 1.4, so "aclocal-1.4" is the right command).
If you work on this, one thing that's been missing along these same
lines is the use of the {my,pg}sqllibpaths variables defined in
configure.in, like it does for {my,pg}sqlheaderpaths. In fact, it'd
probably be cool to use mysql_config for header locations and library
path too, and fallback to the hard-coded locations if still not
working.
I really don't know much on the specifics, m4 syntax, etc., that's
just what I gather in having looked them over a bit. Ryan Butler may
be able to offer some corrections or additional info, as he did the
original automake setup (though as he admits, he was learning it as
he went along too).
