I hope it is okay to be asking questions about apxs here. In the makefile created by apxs, there is the following:
# additional defines, includes and libraries #DEFS=-Dmy_define=my_value AFAICT, uncommenting this and using "DEFS" to add a define does not do anything -- it does not even appear in the call to libtool, etc. Has anyone else noticed this? So I have been using the command line instead: apxs -D myvar=myvalue which does work. However, I need to keep the shell away from certain characters (such as '/') in the value by single quoting the assignment, which with gcc would look like this: gcc -D'myvar="/some/path"' However, it can't be done with apxs :( Anyone know of a work around? -- "Enthusiasm is not the enemy of the intellect."
