Automake supports separate CPPFLAGS for each program or library, see ยง8.4 "Program and Library Variables" of the Automake manual[1]. Essentially, instead of setting -DSTANDALONE in AM_CPPFLAGS, you would set it in the CPPFLAGS for ex, for example: ex_CPPFLAGS = -DSTANDALONE [1] https://gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Program-and-Library-Variables Cheers, -- Nick Bowler, Elliptic Technologies (http://www.elliptictech.com/)
