i'm trying to learn autoconf by following mark galassi's tutorial. the source code i'm working with already has a vanilla makefile.
here's my first stab (from top level): p@satan% cp Makefile Makefile.orig p@satan% mv Makefile Makefile.in p@satan% autoscan p@satan% mv configure.scan configure.in p@satan% autoheader p@satan% autoconf autoconf: Undefined macros: configure.in:22:AC_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE configure.in:23:AC_FUNC_MALLOC configure.in:27:AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile]) configure.in:3:AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([xpose.c]) p@satan% ./configure configure: error: can not find sources in . or .. as usual, the configure script is a big fat mess and difficult to follow. i fully realize i gave practically no information. sending a tarball to the list is a huge no-no, but i'm hoping that some autoconf guru will have some tips to help me out with these error messages. related question: i have no desire to read 50+ pages of autoconf info pages. i've done a websearch for a "quick and dirty introduction", but other than galassi's tutorial, couldn't find much. anyone know of a pragmatic intro to autoconf? pete -- Fingerprint: B9F1 6CF3 47C4 7CD8 D33E 70A9 A3B9 1945 67EA 951D _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
