For a number of years now, Qpid has had 2 build systems: one based on autotools (autoconf, automake etc.) and the other based on cmake. This causes duplication of effort and confusion.
Since the introduction of clearmake it was always the intent that we deprecate and eventually remove autotools, but this intent was not clearly stated and the INSTALL instructions were not updated, so many users are still using the autotools system.
As of the pending 0.22 release, autotools will be deprecated. The INSTALL instructions have been updated to describe the cmake system. The autotools configure script will also print a deprecation message.
Both autotools and cmake will be available for the 0.22 release to facilitate migration. The autotools system will be removed in a subsequent release.
Report any issues with migrating to autools to [email protected]. Cheers, Alan. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
