'make dist' and m4 directory

It seems that the m4 directory is required if I am to distribute a package that makes use of libtools along with automake. Is there a way to include this directory during a 'make dist' without defining it in EXTRA_DIST in my Makefile.am? I would have thought that automake would be able to

Re: 'make dist' and m4 directory

Hi Ralf, yes that's exactly what I am trying to do. Since I'm using automake 1.7.7 then this is why it isn't including the m4 directory. I'll just use EXTRA_DIST for now then until I upgrade to a more recent Automake. Thanks, John Ralf Wildenhues wrote: Hi John, * John Ling wrote

Re: Post installation activities

I tried: install-data-hook: mv $(prefix)/include/*.h $(prefix)/include/tclap But still by this point $(prefix)/include contains no files to move. I think I will just copy it from the source tree itself. Thanks, John Ralf Wildenhues wrote: Hi John, * John Ling wrote on Wed, Jun 22

Post installation activities

Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to do post-install work on the install header directory after an install using some sort of target? I tried using install-exec-hook, but the target fails to find any headers to work on because at that point include_HEADERS apparently has not even been

Using and detecting environment variables as flags

Hello, I want to be able to read/check the value of an environment variable in my Makefile.am. This would be a variable that I set as part of the an [action-if-found] in the AC_SEARCH_LIBS method, that I set in configure.ac. How do I reference such a variable? In addition, depending on the

Re: Using and detecting environment variables as flags

Hi Bruce. So I have the following in my configure.ac: AC_SEARCH_LIBS([compress], [z], ,) So if this Z library exists then I want the build process to include this library during linking. Otherwise I run into errors about not being able to find the 'compress' function in the Z library. I have a

Re: Using and detecting environment variables as flags

I think I've figured out the way to do it: In my Makefile.am I put in a line like 'export CONFIGURE-TIME_LIBS=$(LIBS)' Then in my Makefile.loader I put in my LIBS definition: LIBS = $(CONFIGURE-TIME_LIBS) ... Regards, John Bruce Korb wrote: John Ling wrote: Hello, I want to be able to read

Path variables and path substitution

Hello, I have some very long paths defined in my Makefile.am and I would like to clean things up by substituting them with a variable. For example, if I have: mylib_a_SOURCES = dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4/app.cpp I want to define a variable, in Makefile.am, like so, MYDIR = dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4 then I
