ac_create_prefix_config_h

Synopsis

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

Description

obsoleted by AX_PREFIX_CONFIG_H

* this is a new variant from ac_prefix_config_ this one will use a lowercase-prefix if the config-define was starting with a lowercase-char, e.g.

  #define const or #define restrict or #define off_t

(and this one can live in another directory, e.g. testpkg/config.h therefore I decided to move the output-header to be the first arg)

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.

- default OUTPUT-HEADER = $PACKAGE-config.h - default PREFIX = $PACKAGE - default ORIG-HEADER, derived from OUTPUT-HEADER

        if OUTPUT-HEADER has a "/", use the basename
        if OUTPUT-HEADER has a "-", use the section after it.
        otherwise, just config.h

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_CREATE_PREFIX_CONFIG_H          # creates "testpkg-config.h"
        and the resulting "testpkg-config.h" contains lines like
  #ifndef TESTPKG_VERSION 
  #define TESTPKG_VERSION "0.1.1"
  #endif
  #ifndef TESTPKG_NEED_MEMORY_H 
  #define TESTPKG_NEED_MEMORY_H 1
  #endif
  #ifndef _testpkg_const 
  #define _testpkg_const const
  #endif
  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. :-)
