Yep. Looks like that could be used by configure to set, say, TEX_TEXINPUTS PDFTEX_TEXINPUTS and prepend include dirs differently for different targets, but I suspect that if your TeX distribution includes kpsewhich then your TeX applications can already find the appropriate texinfo.tex. Of course, I suppose this could still be used to find a more recent texinfo.tex than was included with your automake distribution, which would work slightly better than including an out-of-date texinfo.tex, but the included texinfo.tex will still render PDF targets unbuildable since texi2dvi will, by default, prefer a texinfo.tex in '.' over one elsewhere. In other words, a complete solution is probably some combination of these two, so that TEX_TEXINPUTS or PDFTEX_TEXINPUTS is used when available and the included texinfo.tex is used when the appropriate texinfo.tex can't be found. This is a little more work, but it seems much less baroque than mv'ing texinfo.tex out of the way when a better one is found. Then again, maybe you can find a way to make that work.

I'm afraid not. Any suggestions about how automake could find out where texinfo.tex from the texinfo package is installed, assuming it is? Well, after sifting the documentation for my distribution for several hours, I have discovered the "texmf.cnf" file. It appears to define all sorts of possible search paths dependant on the format of your input and output files. Assuming you're using teTeX (likely for most recent UNIX TeX installations), you look for things using the 'kpsewhich' program, like in kpsewhich texinfo.tex The texmf.cnf file should be treated as an internal detail. - Hari -- Raja R Harinath -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] "When all else fails, read the instructions." -- Cahn's Axiom "Our policy is, when in doubt, do the right thing." -- Roy L Ash
HP 11.0 acc 3.25 help with purify
I have modified the make file generated by automake because aCC does not support the same dependency generation that CC does. What I don't understand is how to add another make target so that I can compile for usage with purify. I also do not know how I can fix my automake generated Makefiles to generate dependency information correctly with aCC. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks, Tim Heath
automake make check error (and more, really)
Solaris-sparc, 2.6, trying to install mysql (done) and php4 my automake make check is failing and I think it's the reason reason my other make is failing.. long story. but if you help me with getting my automake fixed -- it'll probably/hopefully/maybe fix the other one! :-) If you know what recursive means... you can probably skip all the background info I gave you and go down to where the -- is for the real question. I installed the flex-2_5_4a, bison-1_25, make-3_76 and m4-1_4. I already had perl-5_005)3 and gzip-1.2.4 installed. Then I installed autoconf-2.13 and automake-1.4 and mysql-3.23.24-beta No problems! I wasn't going to install gcc-2.95-2-sol26-sparc-local because I needed space, but I had to in order to install php-4.0.1 So, I did the gcc-2.95-2 install last night. When I needed more space, I removed the old gcc 2.8.1 and libstdc++ (the package that used /opt/GCC281) I also removed an old wu-ftpd260 and some xwindows files that I'm sure I didn't need. This morning, I did a configure, make, and make install without any problems. It didn't work when I tried to bring up the netscape server with it, so I was going to reconfigure with new options. Now it fails. I did a reboot between the configure/make this morning and then. And, I took a /opt/GCC281/bin out of my path. I think when I did the configure/make this morning, I was using something in memory. Okay, background in place, here's my question: I've reinstalled the other packages, just to make sure they were okay. I got an error during the make check on automake-1.4, which leads me to believe it has something to do with the libraries don't ask me why I think that!! Here's the error I get when doing the make check on automake-1.4: . . . PASS: yaccpp.test = 2 of 194 tests failed = *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `check-TESTS' Current working directory /opt/automake-1.4/tests *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `check-am' Current working directory /opt/automake-1.4/tests *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `check-recursive' # -- Here's the error I get when doing the make on php4.

Recursive?? Does anyone know what I'm missing here -- do you think I need to reinstall the gcc 2.8.1 and the libstdc++ and then reinstall the gcc 2.95-2?? Melissa

I also do not know how I can fix my automake generated Makefiles to generate dependency information correctly with aCC. I would appreciate any suggestions. What I did with the same sort of problem with Sun's CC was kind of a quick punt. I added to my Makefile.am a good old fashion `depend' target... --- # For platforms where automake dependency generation doesn't work depend: $(libhippoplot_la_SOURCES) $(top_srcdir)/config/makedepend $(DEFS) $(INCLUDES) $(CPPFLAGS) $? -- where the `makedepend' script drives gcc to create the dependencies and modify the automake/autoconf generated Makefiles. Thus I could use Sun's CC as far as automake was concerned, but manually generate dependencies by typing ``make depend''. The `makedepend' script I copied from some Open Source project some ten years ago, and it got it from BSD development in the late 80's. Perhaps there is a better way, but this quick hack worked for me. P.S. Interesting that gcc folk figured out that having the compiler help you generate dependencies was a useful feature over 10 years ago, while the expensive compilers you buy from vendors haven't yet.
