Re: how to turn off shared library notice in output of make install?

2006-09-28 Thread Bruce Korb

Once upon a time, I had a working web page:

 http://autogen.sourceforge.net/conftest.html

(It is down because the underlying OS was upgraded and it
was a nuisance to find a build platform that produced binaries
that worked correctly on the current platform.  I've since learned
how to do it, but it is not a round tuit I've gotten around to.)

Anyway, a number of people used it when it was alive and
were happy with the results.  The underlying templates need
updating due to autoconf changes, but the concept is straight
forward:  lead a user through a few forms to find out what
condition needs to be tested and what ought to be done if
it turns out to be true or false.  I found discovering that on my
own to be way hard.

Cheers - Bruce

P.S. If anyone asks me, I go find my round tuit and get that
page working again.

If you want a tutorial, then the answer is this:
http://www-src.lip6.fr/~Alexandre.Duret-Lutz/autotools.html

If that is unclear, wrong, or missing things you think it also needs,
then by all means please write to the author.

I agree that it's not sufficient; there are of course the three manuals.
But still, a FAQ type of document is missing as well.  IMHO it would be
helpful if savannah.gnu.org offered projects a wiki of some sort -- I'd
prefer contributing to a site that can be expected to last longer than
an individual's commitment; and also it would facilitate avoiding too
much duplication of information.

Cheers,
Ralf
