Synopsis

AC_PREFIX_CONFIG_H [(PREFIX [,ORIG-HEADER [,OUTPUT-HEADER]])]

Version

1.1.1.1 (2001/07/26)     guidod @ ac-archive-0.5.39

Author

Guido Draheim <guidod@gmx.de>

Description

obsoleted by AX_PREFIX_CONFIG_H

takes the usual config.h generated header file; looks for each of the generated "#define SOMEDEF" lines, and prefixes the defined name (ie. makes it "#define PREFIX_SOMEDEF". The result is written to the output config.header file. The PREFIX is converted to uppercase for the conversions. If PREFIX is absent, $PACKAGE will be assumed. If the ORIG-HEADER is absent, "config.h" will be assumed. If the OUTPUT-HEADER is absent, "PREFIX-config.h" will be assumed.

In most cases, the configure.in will contain a line saying
         AC_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h) 
somewhere *before* AC_OUTPUT and a simple line saying
        AC_PREFIX_CONFIG_HEADER
somewhere *after* AC_OUTPUT.

example:
   AC_INIT(config.h.in)        # config.h.in as created by "autoheader"
   AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(testpkg, 0.1.1)   # "#undef VERSION" and "PACKAGE"
   AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)         #                in config.h.in
   AC_MEMORY_H                        # "#undef NEED_MEMORY_H"
   AC_C_CONST_H                       # "#undef const"
   AC_OUTPUT(Makefile)                # creates the "config.h" now
   AC_PREFIX_CONFIG_H                 # creates "testpkg-config.h"
         and the resulting "testpkg-config.h" contains lines like
   #define TESTPKG_VERSION "0.1.1"
   #define TESTPKG_NEED_MEMORY_H 1
   #define TESTPKG_const const

   and this "testpkg-config.h" can be installed along with other
   header-files, which is most convenient when creating a shared
   library (that has some headers) where some functionality is
   dependent on the OS-features detected at compile-time. No
   need to invent some "testpkg-confdefs.h.in" manually. :-)
