ac_subst_dir

Obsolete Macro

The macro AC_DEFINE_DIR provides this functionality directly now.

Synopsis

AC_SUBST_DIR(VARNAME, [DIR])

Description

This macro substitutes (with AC_SUBST) VARNAME with the expansion of itself or the DIR variable if specified, taking care of fixing up ${prefix} and such.

Side effect: VARNAME is replaced with the expansion.

AC_SUBST_DIR bases on Alexandre Oliva's AC_DEFINE_DIR macro.

Examples:

   AC_SUBST_DIR(DATADIR)
