Hej,

perhaps this is what you want: add this line somewhere at the begining of 
src/Makefile.am in protux:

CXXFLAGS = -DPREFIX=\"@address@hidden"

then run again automake in the top directory.
So all the files in src/ will be compiled with
        g++ ... -DPREFIX=\"/usr/local\" ...
or whatever you set the prefix variable to when you call ./configure.
Then you can access the variable in the code as any other #define.

There are a lot of other path-variables out there, but i think that @prefix@ is 
the right one. AFAIK @bindir@ for example is normally just defined as 
@prefix@/bin (if you don't overide it with some strange ./configure options).


srcdir = @srcdir@
top_srcdir = @top_srcdir@
VPATH = @srcdir@
prefix = @prefix@
exec_prefix = @exec_prefix@

bindir = @bindir@
sbindir = @sbindir@
libexecdir = @libexecdir@
datadir = @datadir@
sysconfdir = @sysconfdir@
sharedstatedir = @sharedstatedir@
localstatedir = @localstatedir@
libdir = @libdir@
infodir = @infodir@
mandir = @mandir@
includedir = @includedir@
oldincludedir = /usr/include
pkgdatadir = $(datadir)/@PACKAGE@
pkglibdir = $(libdir)/@PACKAGE@
pkgincludedir = $(includedir)/@PACKAGE@


hope that helps

Martin

PS: Luciano, sorry for CCing you, but my last 2 mails didn't seem to find their 
way to the list.
