Hi,
I was a bit surprised that the default installation obtained by cloning
(using git clone on the command line)
git://github.com/libusbx/libusbx.gitdid not include a configure or any
of the artifacts generated by the
autoconf suite.
Using a fresh cloned directory and having MacPort's autoconf and friends
first in my path (/opt/local/bin; those are later versions than Apple's), I
had to do the following (from the top level directory):
% mkdir m4
% autoreconf -v -i
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal -I m4
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: running: glibtoolize --copy
glibtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'.
glibtoolize: copying file `./ltmain.sh'
glibtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR, `m4'.
glibtoolize: copying file `m4/libtool.m4'
glibtoolize: copying file `m4/ltoptions.m4'
glibtoolize: copying file `m4/ltsugar.m4'
glibtoolize: copying file `m4/ltversion.m4'
glibtoolize: copying file `m4/lt~obsolete.m4'
autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf
autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoheader
autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --no-force
configure.ac:42: installing `./compile'
configure.ac:39: installing `./config.sub'
configure.ac:29: installing `./missing'
configure.ac:29: installing `./install-sh'
configure.ac:39: installing `./config.guess'
examples/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'
autoreconf: Leaving directory `.'
%
Is that expected? If so, shouldn't the INSTALL file mentions that rather
than say that one should simply have to run configure? I see that
Makefile.in and other files are in the ignore file for git, so it does not
seem that you intend to distribute something that can be configured
directly with configure? Or I may be missing something quite obvious (it's
been a while since I've played with such builds).
Once I did this, it was pretty easy to build a proper library.
