Re: Starting make in subdirectory rather than root
As long as the sub-project didn't have dependencies on the other parts, your sound developer should be able to configure, cd Z and make. You could even create a configure.ac for Z that would just configure that portion. If Z does have dependencies on other parts then make sure they're satisfiable via the generated makefile. Earnie.

The developers want to know if there is a way to start with a clean tree that has had ./configure runned on it and start compiling in a subdirectory? The reason is that a sound developer would like to test their changes on a clean checkout from CVS but do want to compile the other directories the root. If we had a tree like: /project_Buzz/A /B /C /D ... /Z If the developer was only interested in lets say directory 'Z'. Then because our makefile.am is written with 'Z' as the last directory in the SUBDIRS the develop has a long time to wait until theirs is built. If it were possible to start building in 'Z' then it may take considerably less time to build than a full make job. Directory 'Z' might only depend on a few libraries in 'A', 'G' and 'R'. Four directories is nicer than 24 from a developers point of view. I hope this explains what I am looking at for a solution. Stephen

I was curious to see if there was an automake feature that we could use. Stephen -- Stephen Torri [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

How would you make sure that dependencies on other parts are satisified? Just add a dependency on a relative filename, and a rule to make that subdir: bin_PROGRAMS = foo foo_SOURCES = bar.c foo_LDADD = $(top_builddir)/mylib/mylib.la $(top_builddir)/mylib/mylib.la: cd $(top_builddir)/mylib; \ make mylib -- Roger Leigh Liberty and Livelihood - Support the Countryside Alliance Printing on GNU/Linux? http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/ GPG Public Key: 0x25BFB848 available on public keyservers
