autotools

In my c/c++ files, there are multiple #define. As an example: #ifdef LIBVNCSERVER_HAVE_LIBZ /* some code */ #ifdef LIBVNCSERVER_HAVE_LIBJPEG /* some more code */ Can you please tell me how can I modify my Makefile.in so that I have those #define in ALL files during compilation? Thank you. -DLIBVNCSERVER_HAVE_LIBZ -DLIBVNCSERVER_HAVE_LIBJPEG You could pass those in CPPFLAGS , CPPFLAGS = -DLIBVNCSERVER_HAVE_LIBZ -DLIBVNCSERVER_HAVE_LIBJPEG or make new variable CUSTOMDEFINES = -DLIBVNCSERVER_HAVE_LIBZ -DLIBVNCSERVER_HAVE_LIBJPEG and pass it to CPPFLAGS = -DEXISTINGFLAGS $(CUSTOMDEFINES) Those are

I want to build a shared library. GNU/Linux is the development and target platform. C is the implementation language. I can't decide how I want to setup the build system and keep flitting around three options each of which have lots of reasons to dislike: hand crafted Makefiles - I've worked this way almost exclusively in the past GNU Autotools - I used autotools earlier this year to build a shared C library, but have forgotten how I did it and where all the many hundreds of tutorials were I used for pickings. waf - supposedly simple but not so easy I've got it working this afternoon. I can't

My .la file has full pathnames in both the dependency_libs= section and the libdir= section which makes it difficult to copy my libraries to a different machine (same arch but different path structure). What is the solution to this, besides having some script to hack the .la file to adjust for the paths on the new machine? ==Details== When I ./configure; make; make install my libfoo , depending on how I use the --prefix , --exec-prefix , and DESTDIR= flags, I'll get an entry in the libfoo.la file that reads libdir=/dir1/lib and I'll have the actual .so files in the same dir as libfoo.la .

This is a followup to a previous question on cross-compiling for the iPhone: Cross-compile Autotools-based Libraries for Official iPhone SDK Basically, I am trying to compile the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) version 1.3.8 (latest) for the iPhone. I am currently running into the following error during the configuration step: checking for working PROCESS_SHARED locks... configure: error: in `/Users/michaelsafyan/Downloads/apr-1.3.8': configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling See `config.log' for more details. I am invoking the "configure" script via "iphone3.1-configure -

I am trying to migrate my application from manual build to autoconf, which is working very nicely so far. But I have one static library that I can't figure out how to integrate. That library will NOT be located in the usual library locations - the location of the binary (.a file) and header (.h file) will be given as a configure argument. (Notably, even if I move the .a file to /usr/lib or anywhere else I can think of, it still won't work.) It is also not named traditionally (it does not start with "lib" or "l"). Manual compilation is working with these (directory is not predictable - this is

I am an autotools newb and I have difficulties figuring out howto easily link a specific library into one of the configured targets. I have a source package that I want to build the usual way: ./configure && make && make install Unfortunately one of the cpps has a missing reference to another library. Compiling it by hand (adjusting the commandline) works. But I would rather "patch" the compile script. Where is the standard place to edit linking references? undefined reference to `boost::system::get_system_category() That is my error message btw. You need to add the relevant -l flag to AM
