We have a makefile in a project, which works well. In the short term at
least, we do not want to use autoconf to create a makefile, but instead
use our own.
However, it would be nice to have a configure script at the top, which
at least supports --help and a few other things like that. But we do not
want it to create a makefile in the usual way.
Is it possible to create a configure.ac which sends it makefile to
/dev/null, and instead creates one we want.
Currently the first two lines of the makefile are:
all:
cd spkg && ./install all 2>&1 | tee -a ../install.log
so would we create a configure script that has exactly that in it. A bit
like
echo "all:" > makefile
echo "cd spkg && ./install all 2>&1 | tee -a ../install.log" >> makefile
(I'm ignoring the fact some of this would need escaping)
Since a configure script is basically a shell script, I assume one could
just append one the end
rm rakefile
echo "all:" > makefile
echo "cd spkg && ./install all 2>&1 | tee -a ../install.log" >> makefile
etc
but if there is a neater way, using autoconf macros, that would be helpful.
