Autoconf supports changing the names of programs when installing them.
In order to use these transformations, configure.ac must call the
macro AC_ARG_PROGRAM
.
Place in output variable
program_transform_name
a sequence ofsed
commands for changing the names of installed programs.If any of the options described below are given to configure, program names are transformed accordingly. Otherwise, if
AC_CANONICAL_TARGET
has been called and a --target value is given, the target type followed by a dash is used as a prefix. Otherwise, no program name transformation is done.
