Hello autoconf gurus,
I am wondering if there is a way to modify the prefix passed down in a
recursive autoconf which uses the AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS to recurse into
subprojects.
Situation: I have project A which has two subprojects B and C (which
also contain others subprojects, and A may or may not be itself a
subproject of Z, but I don't think this is relevant).
Problem: I need the recursive 'make install' on project B to install
into the prefix dir passed down by A, but I need the recursive 'make
install' on C to install into a subdirectory of A's prefix. To be
concrete, if $prefix is "/usr/local" I want B to install into "/usr/
local" but I need subproject C to install into "/usr/local/foo". The
reason is to avoid overwriting a potential existing installation of
the subproject C that may have been installed previously since we
modified the source. Unfortunately, we cannot make C a separate
project for dependency reasons.
Is there a way to append a subdirectory to the prefix passed down to
one subproject but not the other with autoconf? Or is there perhaps
another way to do this that does not use autoconf?
Thank you for your time and any help on this problem!
Regards,
Michael
