autotools

I'm using GNU autotools for the build system on a particular project. I want to start writing automated tests for verifcation. I would like to just type "make check" to have it automatically run these. My project is in C++, although I am still curious about writing automated tests for other languages as well. Is this compatible with pretty much every unit testing framework out there (I was thinking of using cppunit)? How do I hook these unit testing frameworks into make check? Can I make sure that I don't require the unit test software to be installed to be able to configure and build the rest

I'm working on a C++ project that uses autoconf & automake , and I'm struggling to correctly set up the include paths in *CPPFLAGS . I've read about 3 hours worth of documents, and I can't figure it out yet. I'm not looking for a hack, but for the correct way to do this. Here is my conundrum. As I see it, there are 3 completely different sources for include paths: External libraries that must be installed along with my package, which are configured by configure --with-XXX=<PATH> . Within my package, some source files use #include <file.h> even when file.h is part of the package, so to compile

I've installed mingw and msys by using mingw-get-setup.exe . I've also installed Autotools(autoconf, automake,m4,libtool) into C:\/opt/autotools . When I run automake, the following error always occurs: configure.ac:11: error: required file './ltmain.sh' not found If I copy ltmain.sh from libtool’s installed tree, execution will finish normally. How can I configuure automake to find ltmain.sh without copying? In an autoconf / automake / libtool project you have to invoke: libtoolize : this copies/links a few support scripts, including ltmain.sh (which is the main component of libtool). aclocal

This is my first try with cmake and I would like to have, if possible, some feedbacks about what I did since some problems remain. In the CMakeLists.txt of the library folder, I created two makefile targets: configure-antlr3c and antlr3c . The first target runs the autotools configuration shell script, the second one runs the make executable to build the library: # CMakeLists.txt in libantlr3c-3.1.3 add_custom_target( configure-antlr3c ${SHELL_EXECUTABLE} configure WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} ) add_custom_target( antlr3c ${MAKE} DEPENDS configure-antlr3c WORKING_DIRECTORY $

I'm a very frequent user of the GNU Autotools (mostly Autoconf , occasionally Libtool ). I'm working on a project where portability is going to be a sticking point.. Yet, the rest of the team is just not comfortable working with m4 . I got this in my inbox from not one, but four people: Anyway, perhaps someone could recommend something Python or PHP based? I'm working on the C end of a much larger tree; I can be sure either Python or PHP 5 will be present, as they are prerequisites. I have heard good things about CMake which tries to solve the same problems. Here is the wikipedia article

On a Linux system I configured a software package (llvm) and autoconf finds the arc4random function. Here an extraction of the output during configuration: checking for strerror... yes checking for strerror_r... yes checking for setenv... yes checking for arc4random... yes checking for strtoll... yes checking for strtoq... yes checking for sysconf... yes Configuring goes fine. Later, when building the package I get an error about an undeclared specifier arc4random : [removed]/lib/Support/Unix/Process.inc:368:10: error: use of undeclared identifier 'arc4random' return arc4random(); ^ Here the
