I execute the following in configure.in: AC_DEFINE( [ENABLE_XMMS], [1] )
yet this #ifdef in the source code doesn't work: #ifdef ENABLE_XMMS
You don't say how you expect this to happen. Your question gives the impression that you think the AC_DEFINE in configure.ac and the #ifdef in the source file are sufficient, but this is not the case. (You didn't say if you're using Automake - if so, then the two things you mention may indeed be enough. Someone who uses Automake will have to comment.)
I can think of a number of ways to make this happen, including but not limited to:
Having configure generate the source file itself
Generating a header file that defines ENABLE_XMMS, which the source file includes
Generating a Makefile (or makefile fragment) that directly or indirectly compiles the source file with -DENABLE_XMMS in the compiler flags, e.g., using @DEFS@
Which, if any, of these routes are you taking?
