Following the instructions in the Goat Book at <http://
sources.redhat.com/autobook/autobook/autobook_241.html#SEC241> I ran
"autoscan" on our source tree, which is visible at <http://
www.ravenbrook.com/project/mps/master/code/>. It said:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] autoscan -v
autoscan: srcdir = .
autoscan: cannot open <mpm.h: No such file or directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
The file "mpm.h" is in the current directory.
The angle bracket is suspicious.
I think autoscan may be confused by the tagging conventions used for
cross-references within the sources. We have many comments which
look like this:
* .source: See .design also. PoolStruct and PoolClassStruct, the
* central types for this module, are defined in <code/mpmst.h>, the
* corresponding abstract types in <code/mpmtypes.h>. Declarations and
* prototypes are in <code/mpm.h>. Several functions have macro
versions
* defined in <code/mpm.h>. */
These cross-references look like arguments to #include and may be
confusing autoscan. But surely autoscan is stripping comments before
doing anything else, isn't it?
I'm running on Mac OS X 10.4.6 and autoscan --version reports
"autoscan (GNU Autoconf) 2.59". This copy of autoscan came with Mac
OS X.
