Whether does "ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS= -I @path" only work for "Makefile.am"?
In the context of autoreconf (the only part of the equation
belonging to autoconf), we merely call aclocal without grepping for
ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS,
That's not true. autoreconf.in:autoreconf_current_directory
greps for /^ACLOCAL_[A-Z_]*FLAGS\s*=\s*(.*)/
Ah - I missed the regex (I was searching for a literal ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS,
and didn't realize that it would be hidden behind a regex). Thanks for
correcting me.
so it really only works with autoreconf to put literal stuff in that
line.
When aclocal is run from make, as triggered by the automake-generated
rule, $(ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS) undergoes usual make expansion of course.
At any rate, it seems like maintaining ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am is
redundant - how hard is it to teach automake to have aclocal
_automatically_ include directories mentioned inside
AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR, to avoid the dual file maintenance headache?
