See the start of the thread. Assuming one has to hard-code installation
locations (let's not get into a debate about that), one may have to
build the expansion of @bindir@ into the binary. But that is usually
defined as ${exec_prefix}/bin, so something direct like
#define BINDIR "@bindir@"
does not work as expected.
Thanks,
