I use autoconf/automake/libtool on two projects that compile quite
happily on Unix and windows (MinGW).

Use Bakefile, or cmake, or jam, or something else that really 
understands Windowsisms.  automake can be arm-twisted into supporting 
native Windows builds, but it isn't happy doing it.  I use Bakefile 
myself; it lets you continue using autoconf on the Unixy side of things, 
and Visual Studio, nmake + cl, or mingw on the Windows side.

Makefile.am for both windows and linux

Hi,

How can I make use of variables in Makefile.am for automake primaries? I
want to write Makefile.am as

lib_LIBRARIES = $(PREFIX)mylib.$(LIBSUFFIX)
libdir = ${prefix}/lib
$(PREFIX)_mylib_$(LIBSUFFIX)_SOURCES = mylib.c

I can not use libtools. Is there a way, I can achieve this?

Thanks & Regards
Nitin
