Hi,
Does Automake provide any kind of extension mechanism so that one can
produce, and possibly share, useful Makefile fragments?
Hi David,
What I've chosen to do is to write autoconf macros that generate these
Automake fragments, so all I need to do as user is to call the macro in
'configure.ac' and include the fragment file in my 'Makefile.am'. The
real benefit of that is when the macro has been modified and aclocal
will take care of updating the macro in each project and the automake
fragments are re-generated. An example of this idea you can see in macro
