automake

I've got c++ code that needs a sed done to it prior to compilation. How do I place this into Makefile.am ? I tried the typical makefile setup and the target appears to not exist: gentest.cc: $(SED) -i "s|FIND|REPLACE|" gentest.cc If you are interested as to why I want to do this, it's because I wrote my program ( slider3.py ) in python and my partner wrote his in c++ ( gentest.cc ) and his needs to call mine. I'm accomplishing this by editing the argv and then using execv() . ... { char **argv2 = new char*[argc]; memset(argv2,0,sizeof(argv2)); argv2[0] = "__PREFIX__/bin/slider3.py"; memcpy

I need to disable optimization flag for a individual file using autotools. What is the best way to do it? Do you mean an individual source file or an individual executable? To disable optimization for an executable is simple: bin_PROGRAMS = myprog myprog_SOURCES = foo.c bar.c myprog_CFLAGS = -O0 If you mean that you want to disable the optimization for a single source file temporarily , say for debugging purposes, you can just remake that file at the prompt: (example from the automake manual) rm bar.o make CFLAGS=-O0 bar.o make To do it for an individual source file permanently is not so

How to tell Automake to build a dynamic module which is not to be installed? pkglib_LTLIBRARIES = mywrapper.la mywrapper_la_LDFLAGS = -no-undefined -module -avoid-version causes mywrapper.so to be installed to pkglibdir . noinst_LTLIBRARIES = mywrapper.la mywrapper_la_LDFLAGS = -no-undefined -module -avoid-version causes static convenience library to be built instead. The dynamic module in question is only used to run a test suite, and hence is not to be distributed. I had the same problem. This is what I did, including the peeved comment to myself for future reference: # The rpath is

How can I install a directory tree of HTML files, stylesheets and images with automake without having to create Makefiles in each subdirectory? Using the following in the toplevel directory htmldir = $(docdir)/foo/html html_DATA = \ stylesheets/foo.css \ images/foo.jpg \ index.html \ about/index.html \ faq/index.html EXTRA_DIST = $(html_DATA) fails because the subdirectories are not created before install is called. You could write foohtmldir = $(htmldir)/foo/html nobase_dist_foohtml_DATA = \ stylesheets/foo.css \ images/foo.jpg \ index.html \ about/index.html \ faq/index.html htmldir is a

My project depends upon a library (more precisely, GTK+) so I added the following configurations in my configure.ac : PKG_CHECK_MODULES([GTK], [gtk+-2.0]) AC_SUBST([GTK_CFLAGS]) AC_SUBST([GTK_LIBS]) My Makefile.am is: bin_PROGRAMS = secretary secretary_SOURCES = secretary.c For its turn, my secretary.c is as follows: #include <gtk/gtk.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { gtk_init(&argc, &argv); GtkWidget *window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL); gtk_widget_show(window); gtk_main(); return 0; } However, when I run make (of course, after calling ./configure ) I got this error: gcc -DHAVE

I'm building the check framework example 'check_money', but it's not building on my machine. The error is: configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in "." "./.." "./../.." I've tried installing it using: libtoolize --force aclocal autoheader automake --force-missing --add-missing autoconf ./configure It's still giving me the same error. So, I copied the same directory to another directory and ran: autoreconf --install ./configure And it's still giving me the same error. I don't know what else to try. I'm on Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9) Autoconf 2.69 Automake 1.15 Libtool 2
