Re: automake and (f)lex

Evil hacks are easy to avoid this, but why does it do this, and is there a right way of stopping it, or should I do something clever to make the generated C portable? Recent versions of flex are a dead loss; I'd stick with 2.5.4 until the flex maintainers start responding to mail, or at least fixing bugs. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -- | pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: 1.7.6, DIST_SUBDIRS, and distcheck
In this case, the subdir is another auto* package. I *could* solve this by passing an argument to distcheck's configure , but I didn't see how to do that, either. Is there a way to pass configure options to distcheck's configure run? H -- Hi, Harlan Stenn [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I have a subroutine that is only conditionally built.

You cannot disable generation of the Makefile in your configure.ac. Is this a bug in 1.7.6 or do I have to solve this another way?

Verbose output during make
A simple (trivial?) question. Is there a flag in automake to reduce the output that the user sees (not the -s in gmake); for instance I am gettting as one example: -c -o ftwi_64.lo `test -f 'ftwi_64.c' || echo './'`ftwi_64.c; \ then mv .deps/ftwi_64.Tpo .deps/ftwi_64.Plo; \ else rm -f .deps/ftwi_64.Tpo; exit 1; \ (N.B.

aCC dependencies
Hi, Since 3.31 version, aCC could handle dependencies. It's better to use it because makedepend is -very very very- slow and don't understand anything to -A* flag which affect include path. So, i wrote this little piece of code for depcomp which works well for me: i just add an aCC section before #nosideeffect: aCC) ## aCC 03.31 handle dependencies with +M[d] flag ## if d is omited, dependencies are sent to stdout ## if not, dependencies are sent to object file prefix ## folowed by .d suffix dfile=`echo $object | sed -e 's/\([^\.]*\)\.l*o/\1.d/'` $@ +Md stat=$? if test $stat -eq 0; then : else rm -f $dfile exit $stat fi rm -f $depfile cp $dfile $depfile rm -f $dfile ;; Maybe with some errors correction, it could be included in the automake distribution.

Support for ARFLAGS
Dear list members, To bring up an issue that has been brought up to this list at least since 1999 and never provided a satisfactory result. I want to be able to set AR and ARFLAGS using automake. No discussion possible and I am not even going to discuss why because that doesn't seem to help in any way. I have contributed a solution to this list that never got included. After that I found a way around this problem, but the bright minds that develop automake have decided to remove that functionality also. Now I ended up with a Freeware project that could be compiled on some platforms, but only if certain versions of automake are installed. I find this very unprofessional and hence I demand a solution that works out of the box until the end of time. I've tried to put this a kind as possible but I see no reason for actually doing so. Again, you *have* to provide a way to set AR and ARFLAGS using automake and I am *not* discussing why anymore. That's just a waste of time. If you want to know how to it that, search the archives. Have a nice day. Erik Hofman Software developer for FlightGear Flight Simulator. C++ developer on IRIX.

Generating Makefile.in in File-Empty Subdir
Hi, all! I have a directory structure that is similar to the following: foo/ foo/bar/ foo/bar/foobar/ foo/bar/barfoo/ The only file in foo/bar is Makefile.am, as it has no actual source in it (just subdirs). The foo/Makefile.am has in it: ... SUBDIRS=bar ... And foo/bar/Makefile.am has only: SUBDIRS=foobar barfoo and nothing else. The issue is that, though foo/bar/foobar/Makefile.in and foo/bar/barfoo/Makefile.in are generated, nothing is generated for foo/bar/Makefile.in, which kills builds (especially make dist), due to there being no Makefile in foo/bar. I've Googled the heck out of this, and looked in the archives and couldn't find anything. Any ideas? --bj

AC_PREREQ in aclocal.m4
Hi all, I'm sorry if this question has been asked and answered before, but when I generate the aclocal.m4 file (using aclocal version 1.7.6), it puts the line: AC_PREREQ([2.54]) as the first macro. This is slightly inconvenient as I then can't use the generated Makefiles on a system which doesn't have autoconf 2.54 or greater installed: cd ../../hdf4 /bin/sh /mnt/sdt/wendling/hdf4/bin/missing --run aclocal-1.7 /mnt/sdt/wendling/hdf4/bin/missing: aclocal-1.7: command not found WARNING: `aclocal-1.7' is missing on your system.

Thanks. However, I noticed that I am only getting the excessing output with gcc g++; g77 files are compiling nicer (i.e. as single lines with the options rather than everything else). Any hints?
Re: KAI compiler dependency generation
* I wrote on Fri, Jun 27, 2003 at 10:12:27AM CEST: automake's depcomp script could be adjusted to recognize the dependency generation option of the KAI C++/C compiler, version 4.0. Don't know if this would be useful to people, as the compiler is not developed any more, but just in case: [ see http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2003-06/msg00130.html or References: for the whole message ] Leads me to a particular and a general question about automake/depcomp and KAI: Is there really nobody interested in this compiler (any more) that uses automake or does it have to do with the fact that KAI is primarily intended for C++? In general, is there interest in supporting older or less used systems even if it means more code for every package that uses automake? Is there a FAQ for this I did not find or discussion I overlooked in the archives? Does it have to do with the non-freeness of the compiler (wouldn't be the only one)? Regards, Ralf
