Quick autotools

Start from Zero

1. Prepare project source: 

 mkdir src
 cp -r ../src/* src

2. Autoscan and generate configure.scan

  1. Rename configure.scan to configure.ac rm autoscan.log mv configure.scan configure.ac
    4. Edit Makefile.am

Root Makefile.am 

cat ./Makefile.am 
# $Id$

ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4

SUBDIRS = src tests tools examples

src/Makefile.am 

    cd src
    # update SRCS
    find . -name *.cpp
    find . -name *.h
    vim Makefile.am
    
    cat Makefile.am
    
    # $Id$

ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4

SUBDIRS = src tests tools examples
[dang@localhost libdaiutil]$ ls
examples  Makefile.am  src  svn_update_ext_src.sh  tests  tools
[dang@localhost libdaiutil]$ cat src/Makefile.am 
# $Id$

#AM_CFLAGS = @LIBNFC_CFLAGS@
#AM_LDFLAGS = @LIBNFC_LIBS@ -lrt

Level 2 Headline

  1. autoscan, mv configure.scan configure.ac
  2. $ aclocal $ autoheader
  3. libtoolize –force –copy

As the result: 

  libtoolize: Remember to add `LT_INIT' to configure.ac.
  libtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.ac and
  libtoolize: rerunning libtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros in-tree.

8. $ automake –add-missing –copy –foreign 

  AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE >> configure.ac
  aclocal --> aclocal.m4, define Macros
  autoconf now understands configure.ac
  
  AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR(src)
  AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign -Wall -Werror])
  AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([subdir-objects])
  
 ...
 $ autoconf
 ...
 $ ./configure
 ...
 $ make
 ...
 $ make DESTDIR=`pwd`/inst/ install
