| This is an agglomeration of notes about using autoconf and friends to create |
| the build environment (configure script, etc) that builds and installs |
| Rivet. It will probably go away eventually. |
| |
| WHERE IS THE CONFIGURE SCRIPT? |
| |
| If you've checked out the source tree from SVN, you'll notice there's no |
| configure script, and no configure.in, and no Makefile.in, etc. |
| |
| You get to fiddle the autoconf stuff to create all that. |
| |
| This used to be hard but not so much anymore. |
| |
| Try |
| |
| autoreconf -fi |
| |
| |
| This runs aclocal, autoconf, automake and whatever else to properly |
| generate config.h.in, aclocal.m4, */Makefile.in, etc. |
| |
| autoconf and stuff has evolved, and old versions won't work and will cause |
| weird problems. |
| |
| You want to be at least at |
| |
| autoconf 2.58 |
| automake 1.11 |
| |
| |
| CONFIG.GUESS AND FRIENDS |
| |
| Ever wonder where config.guess, install-sh, and stuff come from? |
| (You see them in a lot of packages.) |
| |
| This stuff a lot can get pooped out there using libtoolize. |
| |
| libtoolize --force --copy to install config.guess, config.sub, ltmain.sh |
| |
| This stuff is in the tclconfig directory, which isn't really the best |
| name because it's grown to include a lot of autoconf-related stuff. |
| |
| But it really doesn't matter anymore because autoreconf appears to take |
| care of it all. |
