I am trying to update the Autoconf and Automake initializations in
GraphicsMagick to the current standard. There is an external script
which produces all of the version information. This script needs to
access a file (called ChangeLog) in the top of the source directory.
I am using this syntax in configure.ac:
AC_INIT(m4_esyscmd([./version.sh packagename]),
m4_esyscmd([./version.sh packageversion]),
m4_esyscmd([./version.sh packagebugreport]))
This works fine when building in the source directory.
The problem I am encountering is that in the context of AC_INIT and
m4_esyscmd, I do not know how to obtain the path to the top of the
source directory.
Can someone please give me a clue as to how to determine the top of
the source directory?
Thanks,
Bob
