IMHO one will need to add few AC_DEFINE... statements in configure.in to have all directories (prefix, localstatedir, sysconfdir, libdir, includedir, etc) e.g. to open the configuration file vpopmail.mysql the code does it like this
/home/experiments/vpopmail-5.4.27>grep vpopmail.mysql *.c vmysql.c:Add error result for "unable to read vpopmail.mysql" and return it vmysql.c: sprintf(config, "%s/etc/%s", VPOPMAILDIR, "vpopmail.mysql"); /home/experiments/vpopmail-5.4.27> it needs to use SYSCONFDIR to be FHS compliant. !DSPAM:49d6d26732681738714041!
