This option is intended to be used in conjunction with subdir-objects and
Automake-time substitutions for included makefile fragments (%C%, %D%). It
suppresses the generation path components in object filenames.
It should equivalent to setting %C%_foo_SHORTNAME=foo, except it can work if
the makefile fragment is conditionally included, which improves the modularity
of Automake-using projects.
Example:
without object-shortname
root/path/to/Makefile.am:
bin_PROGRAMS += foo
%C%_foo_CFLAGS = $(CFLAGS)
results in objects:
root/path/to/root_path_to_foo-foo.o
with object-shortname the object filename is:
root/path/to/foo-foo.o
And it allows the following in root/Makefile.am (not possible with
foo_SHORTNAME=foo)
if ENABLE_FOO
include path/too/Makefile.am
endif
