#
# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AX_COMPUTE_RELATIVE_PATHS(PATH_LIST)
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   PATH_LIST is a space-separated list of colon-separated triplets of the
#   form 'FROM:TO:RESULT'. This function iterates over these triplets and
#   set $RESULT to the relative path from $FROM to $TO. Note that $FROM and
#   $TO needs to be absolute filenames for this macro to success.
#
#   For instance,
#
#     first=/usr/local/bin
#     second=/usr/local/share
#     AX_COMPUTE_RELATIVE_PATHS([first:second:fs second:first:sf])
#     # $fs is set to ../share
#     # $sf is set to ../bin
#
#   $FROM and $TO are both eval'ed recursively and normalized, this means
#   that you can call this macro with autoconf's dirnames like `prefix' or
#   `datadir'. For example:
#
#     AX_COMPUTE_RELATIVE_PATHS([bindir:datadir:bin_to_data])
#
#   AX_COMPUTE_RELATIVE_PATHS should also works with DOS filenames.
#
#   You may want to use this macro in order to make your package
#   relocatable. Instead of hardcoding $datadir into your programs just
#   encode $bin_to_data and try to determine $bindir at run-time.
#
#   This macro requires AX_NORMALIZE_PATH and AX_RECURSIVE_EVAL.

## Note:
## *****
## The following helper macros are too fragile to be used out
## of AX_COMPUTE_RELATIVE_PATHS (mainly because they assume that
## paths are normalized), that's why I'm keeping them in the same file.
## Still, some of them maybe worth to reuse.

dnl AX_COMPUTE_RELATIVE_PATH(FROM, TO, RESULT)
dnl ===========================================
dnl Compute the relative path to go from $FROM to $TO and set the value
dnl of $RESULT to that value.  This function work on raw filenames
dnl (for instead it will considerate /usr//local and /usr/local as
dnl two distinct paths), you should really use AX_COMPUTE_RELATIVE_PATHS
dnl instead to have the paths sanitized automatically.
dnl
dnl For instance:
dnl    first_dir=/somewhere/on/my/disk/bin
dnl    second_dir=/somewhere/on/another/disk/share
dnl    AX_COMPUTE_RELATIVE_PATH(first_dir, second_dir, first_to_second)
dnl will set $first_to_second to '../../../another/disk/share'.

AX_COMPUTE_BACK_PATH([$1], [_lcl_common_prefix], [_lcl_first_rel])
AX_COMPUTE_SUFFIX_PATH([$2], [_lcl_common_prefix], [_lcl_second_suffix])
$3="[$]_lcl_first_rel[$]_lcl_second_suffix"])

dnl AX_COMPUTE_COMMON_PATH(LEFT, RIGHT, RESULT)
dnl ============================================
dnl Compute the common path to $LEFT and $RIGHT and set the result to $RESULT.
dnl
dnl For instance:
dnl    first_path=/somewhere/on/my/disk/bin
dnl    second_path=/somewhere/on/another/disk/share
dnl    AX_COMPUTE_COMMON_PATH(first_path, second_path, common_path)
dnl will set $common_path to '/somewhere/on'.

      $3="[$]_lcl_first_prefix"
    else
      _lcl_second_prefix_match=0
    fi
  fi
done])

dnl AX_COMPUTE_SUFFIX_PATH(PATH, SUBPATH, RESULT)
dnl ==============================================
dnl Subtract $SUBPATH from $PATH, and set the resulting suffix
dnl (or the empty string if $SUBPATH is not a subpath of $PATH)
dnl to $RESULT.
dnl
dnl For instance:
dnl    first_path=/somewhere/on/my/disk/bin
dnl    second_path=/somewhere/on
dnl    AX_COMPUTE_SUFFIX_PATH(first_path, second_path, common_path)
dnl will set $common_path to '/my/disk/bin'.
AC_DEFUN([AX_COMPUTE_SUFFIX_PATH],
[$3=`expr "x[$]$1" : "x[$]$2/*\(.*\)"`])

dnl AX_COMPUTE_BACK_PATH(PATH, SUBPATH, RESULT)
dnl ============================================
dnl Compute the relative path to go from $PATH to $SUBPATH, knowing that
dnl $SUBPATH is a subpath of $PATH (any other words, only repeated '../'
dnl should be needed to move from $PATH to $SUBPATH) and set the value
dnl of $RESULT to that value.  If $SUBPATH is not a subpath of PATH,
dnl set $RESULT to the empty string.
dnl
dnl For instance:
dnl    first_path=/somewhere/on/my/disk/bin
dnl    second_path=/somewhere/on
dnl    AX_COMPUTE_BACK_PATH(first_path, second_path, back_path)
dnl will set $back_path to '../../../'.
