A.1 Embedding the linker library

We can embed this library at preprocessing–time by adding the following line on the top of a source file: 

mbfl_embed_library(/path/to/libmbfl-linker.bash)

for details Libraries loading and embedding.

If we use the GNU Autotools to configure a package, we can add the following line to Makefile.am: 

MBFL_LIBMBFL_LINKER     = @MBFL_LIBMBFL_LINKER@

and use such variable to embed the linker library; Using the GNU Autotools. For example, in the Makefile.am we do: 

myscriptsdir            = $(bindir)
myscripts_SCRIPTS       = myscript.bash
myscripts_BSOURCES      = myscript.bash.m4
CLEANFILES              += $(myscripts_SCRIPTS)
EXTRA_DIST              += $(myscripts_BSOURCES)

AM_MBFLPP_FLAGS         = --add-bash --define=__LIBMBFL_LINKER__="$(MBFL_LIBMBFL_LINKER)"

%.bash : %.bash.m4
        $(MBFLPP) $(AM_MBFLPP_FLAGS) $(MBFLPPFLAGS) <$< >$@

and in the script we do: 

mbfl_embed_library(__LIBMBFL_LINKER__)

Also notice that the preprocessor option --print-libmbfl-linker will print the file pathname of the installed library, Invoking the preprocessor. For example: 

mbflpp.bash --print-libmbfl-linker
-| /usr/local/share/mbfl/libmbfl-linker.bash
