ac_define_dir

Synopsis

AC_DEFINE_DIR(VARNAME, DIR [, DESCRIPTION])

Description

This macro _AC_DEFINEs VARNAME to the expansion of the DIR variable, taking care of fixing up ${prefix} and such.

VARNAME is offered as both a C preprocessor symbol, and an output variable.

Note that the 3 argument form is only supported with autoconf 2.13 and later (i.e. only where _AC_DEFINE supports 3 arguments).

Examples:

   AC_DEFINE_DIR(DATADIR, datadir)
   AC_DEFINE_DIR(PROG_PATH, bindir, [Location of installed binaries])
