Get this value in configure.ac
. I think the latest version of pkg-config
is 0.28. Let's assume that 0.25 or above is good enough:
configure.ac
...
PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG([0.25]) # check and set $PKG_CONFIG
PKG_CHECK_MODULES([GLADEUI],[gladeui-2.0],
[ac_gladeui_catdir=`$PKG_CONFIG --variable=catalogdir gladeui-2.0`],
[ac_gladeui_catdir=;])
# there's nothing special about the choice of variable names:
# GLADEUI or ac_gladeui_catdir - use whatever naming scheme you please.
if test "x$ac_gladeui_catdir" = x ; then
AC_MSG_ERROR([couldn't find Glade or catalog directory])
fi
# or if you prefer the AS_IF macro:
# AS_IF([test "x$ac_gladeui_catdir" = x],
# [AC_MSG_ERROR([couldn't find Glade or catalog directory])])
AC_SUBST(GLADEUI_CATDIR, $ac_gladeui_catdir)
You can now access this value in the Makefile.am
using: $(GLADEUI_CATDIR)
