Re: Help with rewriting compile rules.

[Charles Zhang]

HI, Eric, thanks for the reply. I tried your suggestion. I have two issues:
1. "configure" failes its tests of C compilation on the shell since it tries to 
use my shell scripts. I tried to comment out "AC_PROG_CC" and it didn't seem to 
disable the check after "autoreconf".
2. i also need to inherit the options on the compile line like file name and 
CFLAGS. Can I do that with your suggestion? 

Thanks again.

Charles

Yawn !!

I would write a script that does the preprocessing and calls mytool, put
that on my path, then invoke ./configure CC=myscript.
