I am trying to get the sawfish suite to compile with makepp, but I am
failing because of various problems.
LIBREP 0.91.0
You are using a funny feature of gmake, whereby the rule to create an include
file can come after the include statement (and possibly be influenced by
variables from the include file itself -- a circular dependency, which gmake
would just ignore). Makepp OTOH has a one pass parser, and can only work
around this in a clumsy way. It would be nice to move the rule up before the
include statements!
Your libtool itself has a magic number pointing to bash, necessary because it
uses the += operator not understood by other shells. Yet you contradict that
with (only works if your sh is a bash):
SHELL=/bin/sh
LIBTOOL=$(SHELL) $(top_builddir)/libtool
rep_LIBTOOL=$(SHELL) $(top_builddir)/libtool
The next problem is that install in lisp, man & src depends on mkinstalldirs.
While gmake manages to build it, I don't see how. And makepp also misses that
rule. If I manually link it to those subdirs, it works. I guess there is no
sence in installing only from a subdir, so you might just leave that part out
of the submakefiles. Or please give me a hint how mkinstalldirs gets there!
REP-GTK 0.90.4
I don't know where to start, or rather how to tell it where I put librep. I
tried (I want all sawfish stuff in the same dir):
configure --prefix=/opt/sawfish LIBREP_CFLAGS=-I/opt/sawfish/include
LIBREP_LIBS=-L/opt/sawfish/lib
which works, but in the top makefile I get an impossible
repexecdir=
include $(repexecdir)/rules.mk
The file is there alright, deep under /opt, but how do I tell it the path?
There is a scant mention of a few PKG_CONFIG vars, but I don't know how to add
dirs, and the wiki doesn't touch all of this at all.
I guess I'll also have that problem when I get round to sawfish, so if the
same solution doesn't apply there, please advise!
