something like a very demanding, 'no cast warnings allowed' or some '-Werror' compiler flag ? distcheck doesn't add anything to your flags. Sometimes it helps to log distcheck to a file for debugging: $ make distcheck 21 tee distcheck.log HTH. Fang David Fang Computer Systems Laboratory

Re: autotools not suited to proprietary development?

2006-10-04 Thread David Fang
I think you're confusing the idea of a build system for portable software (something the autotools suite can help with) and an installer (or package if you're installing onto a system that has a package manager). From a Windows perspective, it's the same as the difference between Visual

distdir unset in subdir Makefiles?

2006-08-24 Thread David Fang
Hi, I've noticed that the distdir variable in generated Makefile.in's only appears in the top-level Makefile.in, however, it is not set in subdirectories' Makefile.in's. Is this intentional? According to the top Makefile.in, distdir and top_distdir are passed down recursively during a

Re: Complex commands in TESTS

is there a way to have automake execute complex commands as tests? For example, currently I use something like: TESTS = numberAtoms input.sh But it would be nice to have, for instance, a command with arguments like input.sh a b c executed; is that possible, when yes, how? I've

Re: How to remove -O2 on Makefile generated by autoconf/make

Re: Hide issued compiler commands

Hi, I ran across a thread about adding options to libtool in automake or autoconf (since I was looking for the same answer myself). (Last post May 29, 2004) I've devised a little autoconf solution that may help: In configure.in, somwhere after AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, add (e.g.):
