I've defined some macros that I'd like to share across projects. Seems to me I've got two choices for getting them in my dist tarball: 1. include the macros I wrote in the files I wrote 2. include the macros I wrote in aclocal.m4 >From what I can tell, automake chooses #1 when ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS is

access to m4 macros when configuring in subdirectories

2006-05-08 Thread David Byron
Not sure if this is more automake or autoconf related. I'm fairly early in the process of creating one top level Makefile.am/configure.ac to get non-recursive Makefiles. I've got a few directories already building with autoconf/automake. I'm using AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS at the moment so configure sti

I've got a couple of distclean-related questions. I'm using automake 1.9.6. My setup is like this: foo foo/testsuite where both foo and foo/testsuite contain Makefile.am. The Makefile.am in foo contains DIST_SUBDIRS = testsuite foo also contains configure.ac which says among other things: A

multiline variables and AC_SUBST

2006-07-27 Thread David Byron
Pretty sure this is both an automake and autoconf question, but somehow it seems like the automake list is the place to start. I just unwrapped a fresh copy of autoconf 2.60 to take advantage of multiline variables in AC_SUBST. I really only want the values to appear in C code, not in Makefiles.

I'm not sure whether this is a cygwin problem, an automake problem, or my problem but I thought I'd start here. I'm trying to run the autotools on cygwin (eventually using cccl when I get that far), but I'm running into trouble before that. Here's the error I get: $ autoreconf -fvi autoreconf-2.
