I would like to be able to use noinst_prog_HEADERS, but with 1.10.1 I
get a complaint about noinst_progdir not being defined:
You can just put all your not-to-be installed headers into the *_SOURCES
alongside the .c/.cc/... files. *_HEADERS really is necessary only for
headers that are to be installed.
That doesn't work for me. I am #include'ing .c files, and I do not want
objects built for them. This works fine with noinst_HEADERS for a
single library or program:
if WPA
libspmt_la_SOURCES = private.c
private.c: $(noinst_HEADERS)
noinst_HEADERS = $(ACTUAL_SOURCES)
else # !WPA
libspmt_la_SOURCES = $(ACTUAL_SOURCES)
endif # !WPA
where private.c just #include's all of the other .c files in the program.
However, I recently got frustrated trying to run tests against the
library. I am creating one binary for each module in the library and
running them all with make check. Before, I was including the library
with LDADD, and so if a single file in the library changed while trying
to make some test pass then all of the tests would get recompiled. So,
now I generate a list of src/ .c files that each tests/ .c files needs
to include in order to create a proper binary, and #include them all.
Disgusting perhaps, but my turnaround time after making a change in the
library to try and make a test pass is about 10 seconds now.
I did play with other methods, like adding the objects to prog_LDADD,
but I couldn't get them to work. It might be because I'm in tests/ and
the objects I want are in src/. Also, I was having problems just
listing things in module_SOURCES because the files are identically
named: I have src/module.c and tests/module.c
Cheers,
Chris
P.S. I also did get this to work using prog_DEPENDENCIES, but the
manual warns that it is not for source code.
