autoconf

I have a project with several sources directories : src/A /B /C In each, the Makefile.am contains AM_CXXFLAGS = -fPIC -Wall -Wextra How can avoid repeating this in each source folder ? I tried to modifiy src/Makefile.am and the configure.in, but without success. I thought I could use AC_PROG_CXX to set the compilation flags globally but can't find much documentation on how to use those macro (do you have any pointer to such a documentation ?). Thanks in advance adl You can do several things: (1) One solution is to include a common makefile fragment on all your Makefile.am s: include $(top

im trying to build libxml2 from source on my mac. so i have autoconf libtool and automake installed using mac ports autoconf and automake seem to be working fine as expected. i try running autogen.sh first. libtoolize --version unfortunately gives -bash: libtoolize: command not found i try running (again) sudo port install libtool ---> Cleaning libtool ---> Scanning binaries for linking errors: 100.0% ---> No broken files found. i try locate libtool and it seems to be installed fine /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/libtool /Applications

I need a place to install libraries in a linux box I have no su access to. I'm using ~/local[/bin,/lib,/include], but I don't know how can I tell ./configure to look for libraries there (particularly, I'm trying to compile emacs, which needs libgif, which doesn't come in my distro). I tried adding export PATH=$PATH:~/local/bin export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/local/lib export C_INCLUDE_PATH=~/local/include export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=~/local/include to .bashrc but it doesn't seem to work. You want a config.site file. Try: $ mkdir -p ~/local/share $ cat << EOF > ~/local/share/config.site CPPFLAGS=-I$HOME

在 mac 下 phpize编译扩展时，出现如下报错： /usr/bin/ phpize Configuring for: PHP Api Version: 20121113 Zend Module Api No: 20121212 Zend Extension Api No: 220121212 Cannot find autoconf . Please check your autoconf installation and the $PHP_AUTOCONF environment variable. Then, rerun this script. 解决办法也简单，在终端中运行如下命令： $ brew install autoconf 如果 Homebrew 未安装，可先参考： Homebrew 套件管理器使 Mac OS X 更完美 $ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)" 来源： oschina 链接： https://my.oschina.net/owenzhang24/blog/3134729

Why do conditional statements in autoconf scripts prefix their variables with "x"? For example, the macro provided by GNU to test for Boost has conditionals such as if test "x$want_boost" = "xyes"; then Why is this not defined as: if test "$want_boost" = "yes"; then In some early shells, testing for an empty string variable wasn't as easy as it is now, so the best alternative was to see if "x$variable" was equal to just "x". Also, since that's apparently using test , that's simpler than trying to properly quote/escape sequences like '$x != "y"' without losing sanity and/or portability. 来源：

With Make, I do something like generated.c: input.txt generator ./generator input.txt > generated.c How would I get equivalent functionality out of autotools? (removing generated.c on cleaning would also be a bonus). I'm assuming that input.txt is a source file that is distributed, that you do not want to distribute generated.c (i.e., it must be built by each user), and that generator is a program built by your package too. EXTRA_DIST = input.txt bin_PROGRAMS = prog noinst_PROGRAMS = generator # Source files for the generator generator_SOURCES = generator.c ... # Source files for prog prog

I have downloaded latest libgcrypt & libgpg-error libraries from https://www.gnupg.org/download/index.html . I have successfully built (command line) both libraries using ./configure --enable-static --disable-shared; make ; make install on my Mac (Mavericks w/OSX 10.10 & latest Xcode 6.1). I can link just fine to these new libs from an OS X client app I am building. So far, so good. Just perfect. BUT, I also need to build an iOS client using same exact source code. Questions: 1) What are the modifications to the command line build sequence for the library I would need to build a universal
