For those working on Xerces 3.0, I thought I'd compile a short list
of the autoconf resources I've been using:
The book "GNU AUTOCONF, AUTOMAKE, and LIBTOOL". Which is "open
source" so available on the web here:
http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/
The autoconf manual:
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual
The automake manual:
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html
The libtool manual:
http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual.html
As a "maintainer" of the Xerces project, you may find that enabling
"maintainer-mode" is a help:
./configure --enable-maintainer-mode -C
You may initially need to run "autoreconf" to put in place some of
the files you'll need for development.
But please be advised that if you're going to be checking in auto-
tool generated sources, that I'd like us to be in sync with versions
if possible. This will avoid flailing of auto-generated sources.
I'm using:
autoconf 2.59
automake 1.9.5
(libtool 1.5.14)
Finally, after watching unreadable commit messages fly by, mainly
from me, I'd advise the following:
- do an initial commit of the source files changed, with the
appropriate comment.
- follow this with a commit of the autogenerated files, with a
comment like "regen" or something.
This will help separate the meaningful changes from their auto-
generated manifestations.
Make sense?
James.
