   Synopsis

  <p class="indent" style="white-space:nowrap;">
   <code>AC_DEFINE_SUB_PATH(DEFNAME, varname, description)</code>
  </p>
  <h2>
   Description
  </h2>
  <div class="indent">
   <p>
    Look at varname and detect the subpath that it contains relative to
    $prefix/$exec_prefix. If the path is indeed relative to
    $prefix/$exec_prefix, then a single "./" (dotslash) is prepended, otherwise
    it can be seen as an absolute path that can not be moved, which you
    possibly do for "/etc" files, or even those ending up in "/lib/modules" or
    "/winnt/system".
   </p>
   <p>
    This macro is not very intelligent, it's just a first try in this
    direction. It does currently just look into the current patterns, and
    replaces a ${prefix} with a simple dot. Amazingly, it works quite well for
    most packages.
   </p>
   <p>
    Example (configure.ac):
   </p>
   <pre>
   AC_DEFINE_DIR([EPREFIX], [exec_prefix], [--exec-prefix or default])
   AC_DEFINE_SUB_PATH([PATH_LIBDIR], [libdir], [--bindir subdir])
   AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED([PACKAGE],"$PACKAGE", [Name of package])
</pre>
   <p>
    Example (in C):
   </p>
   <pre>
   static const char _libdir[] = PATH_LIBDIR; /* configure default */
   char* libdir;
   char* eprefix = getenv (PACKAGE "DIR");
   if (! eprefix) eprefix = EPREFIX; /* default */
   if (*_libdir != '.') libdir = strdup(_libdir);
   else {
      libdir = malloc(strlen(eprefix) + strlen(_libdir) + 2);
      strcpy(libdir, eprefix);
      strcat(libdir, PATH_DELIMITER_STRING);
      strcat(libdir, _libdir);
   }
   ...
   free (libdir);
</pre>
   <p>
    The AC_DEFINE_SUB_PATHS(varnames) macro looks for the given various
    install-paths that largely depend on either ${prefix} or ${exec_prefix}.
    Just cut out the prefix and ac_define the value. The value is uppercased
    and PATH_ prepended ie. ac_define_sub_paths(bindir libdir pkgdatadir) will
    create the defines PATH_BINDIR PATH_LIBDIR PATH_PKGDATADIR - see posix'
    include/paths.h that creates _PATH_DEV and friends.
