Re: Autoconf Error

2003-02-05 Thread Ronald Landheer-Cieslak
First, have a look which autoconf you're really running, with $ which autoconf or $ type -a autoconf I'll bet you find an old autoconf, probably in /usr/bin. If that is the case, you have an old autoconf installation. You can either modify your PATH so the new one is found before the old one (but

Re: Can I force 'make install' to depend on 'make test'?

Though I really don't think it's a good idea, have you tried just adding install : check to your Makefile.am? Anyways, the reason I don't think it's a good idea is that it will break cross-compiling, as your test programs will probably not run on the build host in that case.. HTH rlc NB: I'v

Re: Putting intermediate files in the distribution?

Hello Bob, What I usually do for generated source files is set the generated files in the sources as I would any other and add a rule to generate them if need be - and add the original files to EXTRA_DIST. This will leave them there on `make clean` and distribute them as well as the sources' s

Changelogs are *not* a lot of work: they *save* a lot of work! Just my personal opinion, of course, but this is how *I* work: 1. make changes 2. diff with current CVS > patch 3. read patch and write the changelog for the patch 4. attach patch to the changelog and save it in my personal patch archi

I'm by no means an automake developer, but what you're looking for is already done by Libtool. File: libtool.info, Node: Link mode `-rpath LIBDIR' If OUTPUT-FILE is a library, it will eventually be installed in LIBDIR. If OUTPUT-FILE is a program, add LIBDIR to the run-time path
