Define a complete rule via autoconf (quoting issue, AC_SUBST)

Hi, I want to place a rule in several Makefiles. So I thought about putting @DESKTOP_DATA_RULE@ into every Makefile.am and define the rule via configure.ac. However, I can't get it to work. The rule is: $(desktop_DATA): $(desktop_in_files:.desktop.in=.desktop) @list='$<'; for p in $$lis

Iterating over variable using AC_DEFINE to get HAVE_FOO_varitem (similar to AC_CHECK_HEADERS)

Hi, For a project I would like to get defines for every supported languages. The ALL_LINGUAS variable contains alist of language codes. Now I would like to get HAVE_LINGUA_$lang for every languages code in the variable. I tried this piece of code: > AS_FOR( > [AC_lingua], > [ac_

Question about AC_SEARCH_LIBS ([other-libraries] argument)

Hi, The AC_SEARCH_LIBS accepts an argument to link with additional libraries given in that argument. Reading the code in autoconf/libs.m4 makes me think, that only the library, that contains the function I'm looking for, is added to LIBS if the test succeeeds. But even if [other-libraries] are giv
