Re: [Protux-devel] getting installation dir from autostuff

[Luciano Giordana]

It is working fine,

but I had to change in configure.in file from

AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(PROTUX_PREFIX,${prefix})

to

AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(PROTUX_PREFIX,"${prefix}")


otherwise I could not use this macro to define a QString in GlobalProperties.hh


need some more tests, but I believe it is working

thanks Tapio and Martin :-)
