I've been working on the Automake build infrastructure for the ACE and
TAO libraries.
TAO depends on and is packaged with ACE, but ACE is also available in
a standalone distribution.
My attempt to handle this was a conditional subdirectory in the
toplevel Makefile.am like:
if BUILD_TAO
SUBDIRS += TAO
endif
and this code in the toplevel configure.ac:
if test -d $srcdir/TAO; then
AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS([TAO])
fi
AM_CONDITIONAL([BUILD_TAO], [test -d $srcdir/TAO])
I thought this was working fine, but then again I've never actually
tried it with an ACE-only distribution. One of the other ACE/TAO
contributors did and found that autoreconf failed with:
$ autoreconf --install --force
Putting files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, `aux_config'.
Makefile.am:34: required directory ./TAO does not exist
autoreconf: failed to run automake: No such file or directory
Any suggestions?
