Over in the Linux.com Forums, James Buchwald asks if there’s any way to override default directories using Autoconf.
I’ve been working on a few of my own open source applications for Linux. One of the programs is a server with a large number of files that need to be in a specific directory structure. However, when I use autoconf (and automake) with my program, it allows the user to change the individual datadir, bindir, etc.
I have two questions regarding this. One, what is the easiest way to override these with a default value? And second, is there any way to disable the –bindir=, –datadir=, etc.?
If you know the answer, or if you have a question of your own, head over to our forums and speak up.
