For this question i produced little example program without I got the
following automake (and autoconf) code - the real code is made up of
several static and dynamic libraries as well as several executables.
If you got a solution for me that might cause problems with debugging,
linking, clean-up or anything else please mention it. I try to produce a
non recursive makefile but im stuck already at the very beginning.
Here the test program:
Makefile.am
bin_PROGRAMS = helloworldlinux client
helloworldlinux_SOURCES = ../../src/helloworldlinux/HelloWorldLinux.cpp
client_SOURCES = ../../src/client/MainLinux.cpp
configure in.
AC_INIT(test,0.1)
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
AC_PROG_CXX
AC_PROG_INSTALL
AC_OUTPUT(Makefile)
The directory layout seems ok the file gets compiled and is linked - no
errors.
My problem is that the resulting executable (helloworldlinux in small
letters) as well as the generated HelloWorldLinux.o (with capital
letters) is located in the folder where the make file is.
I do not want these files within the source directory nor in the directy
of the makefile - the executable should be in
"../../bin/[os]/[compiler]/[debug/release]"
(an eventually produced static library in
"../../lib/[os]/[compiler]/[debug/release]") and the intermediate files
in "../../obj/[os]/[compiler]/[debug/release]")
Now im stuck since 5 days and i just don't find any solution. I'd love
to know how just to set the output directory and then perhaps the best
way to accomplish the [os]/[compiler]/[debug/release] and so on.
Perhaps im googling for the wrong terms and therefore can't find
anything. Any help would be very welcome. Thanks in advance.
