AX_PYTHON_CONFIG_VAR(PYTHON_VARIABLE, [SHELL_VARIABLE])
AX_PYTHON_CONFIG_H
AX_PYTHON_MAKEFILE
AX_PYTHON_CONFIG_VAR:
Using the Python module distutils.sysconfig[1], return a Python configuration variable. PYTHON_VARIABLE is the name of the variable to request from Python, and SHELL_VARIABLE is the name of the shell variable into which the results should be deposited. If SHELL_VARIABLE is not specified, the macro wil prefix PY_ to the PYTHON_VARIABLE, e.g., LIBS -> PY_LIBS.
SHELL_VARIABLE is AC_SUBST'd. No action is taken if an error occurs. Note if $PYTHON is not set, AC_CHECK_PROG(PYTHON, python, python) will be run.
Example:
AX_PYTHON_CONFIG_VAR(LINKFORSHARED, PY_LFS)
AX_PYTHON_CONFIG_H:
Using the Python module distutils.sysconfig[1], put the full pathname of the config.h file used to compile Python into the shell variable PY_CONFIG_H. PY_CONFIG_H is AC_SUBST'd. Note if $PYTHON is not set, AC_CHECK_PROG(PYTHON, python, python) will be run.
AX_PYTHON_MAKEFILE:
Using the Python module distutils.sysconfig[1], put the full pathname of the Makefile file used to compile Python into the shell variable PY_MAKEFILE. PY_MAKEFILE is AC_SUBST'd. Note if $PYTHON is not set, AC_CHECK_PROG(PYTHON, python, python) will be run.
