I've been using AC_SUBST_FILE to put common targets into my
makefile.am's. eg, Makefile.am contains:
@FOO_TARGET@
where configure.ac contains
FOO_TARGET=foo_target
AC_SUBST_FILE(FOO_TARGET)
and foo_target contains:
foo:
echo foo
I would like to do this via AC_SUBST, but this completely hoses
the Makefile. For example, if configure.ac instead contains:
BAR_TARGET="bar:
echo bar"
AC_SUBST( BAR_TARGET)
Then Make bails since Makefile now contains the invalid construct:
BAR_TARGET = bar:
echo bar
I'd like to get away from AC_SUBST_FILE, but I don't see a way
around the manner in which automake is building the Makefile.
Is there a way to construct a generic target via AC_SUBST?
