First off, I have no expertise whatsoever autotools at all. I know they exist. I know they make life simpler (somehow) for (some?) people. I shutter to think of ever trying to learn enough about how they work to learn that they would make my life simpler.
But, I _do_ know how to run a shell script called "autogen.sh", if it exists in a package I'm adding to my project. And I have a project that includes it; and I do see that it runs all sorts of tools like autoheader, automake, libtoolize, etc… One thing that it does run in the midst of all of that is "automake --add-missing", which creates the INSTALL file for the package. What is the best thing to do here… Should I inherit autotools and override do_configure with my own version that just runs the (package supplied) autogen.sh? Is there a way for autotools to run automake --add-missing? Should I go figure out why the build fails in INSTALL doesn't exist? (I'm going to start there, since my first two ideas haven't panned out. (Well, I haven't actually tried the first one yet, it just seems silly to me to inherit autotools and then not use them.)) Should I try something else? Thanks (as always) for any tips or pointers you might have. --wpd -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
