Question

I’m working with C and Automake tools. Now. I can’t find a way to detect the --prefix value
so I can search for my config files for my application.

Is there a way to do this? Some #ifdef that I can read?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I don’t like to answer my own question but thanks to you goys i figured it out how to make it work

ok. it was like hits

AM_CPPFLAGS= -D '_ROOT_="$(prefix)"' 

the single and double quotes where needed, then in my code

#ifdef _ROOT_
printf ("valor %s",_ROOT_); 
#endif
