Currently , my recipe inherits autotools.
I would like update recipe to pass an environment variable define like the following when executing ./configure command.
VAR_NAME=<dir_name>

Appreciate help on how this can be achieved in the recipe.
With regards,
Sam

Sam,

To pass something to a ./configure script, you need EXTRA_OECONF:

EXTRA_OECONF += "VAR_NAME=<dir_name>"

Similarly, to pass something to a Makefile, you need EXTRA_OEMAKE:

EXTRA_OEMAKE += "VAR_NAME=<dir_name>"

You could use EXTRA_OECONF to pass extra variables to configure. 
Something like

VAR_NAME = "${S}/foo/bar"
EXTRA_OECONF += "${VAR_NAME}"
