ac_define_dir_

Obsolete Macro

Use AC_DEFINE_DIR instead.

Synopsis

AC_DEFINE_DIR_(VARNAME, DIR [, DESCRIPTION])

Description

This macro _AC_DEFINEs VARNAME to the expansion of the DIR variable, taking care of fixing up ${prefix} and such.

Note that the 3 argument form is only supported with autoconf 2.13 and later (i.e. only where _AC_DEFINE supports 3 arguments).

Examples:

   AC_DEFINE_DIR_(DATADIR, datadir)
   AC_DEFINE_DIR_(PROG_PATH, bindir, [Location of installed binaries])

This macro is based on Alexandre Oliva's AC_DEFINE_DIR.
