Hi all,

I'm interested in this for a GTK port of the WebKit system.
autoconf/automake is ugly, but it works, and we don't have a
decent IDE.
Just as a FYI, we use Bakefile (http://bakefile.sf.net) to
generate the
wxWebCore project makefiles. Basically, you create an XML-based
'Bakefile',
then the Bakefile program uses that to generate just about any
project
format you want, including MSVC, GNU make, autoconf/automake (i.e.
Makefile.in files), Borland, etc. (Format list is here:
http://bakefile.sourceforge.net/doc/html/rn01re01.html)
This way you don't have to worry about keeping the makefiles in
sync for all
ports, and you can move from a regular old makefile system to an
autoconf
system fairly simply, probably with no work at all.
Thanks,
Kevin
Good enough for me I'll switch :)
Glad to hear it! :-)
I think this is a good approach in general generating the makefile for
xcode is trivial.
Is the xcode project format documented ?
AFAIK, the XCode project format isn't documented.
Btw found the project but the url for downloading is wrong it
should be
svn checkout http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/wxwebcore/
wxwebcore/trunk
wxwebcore
you have
svn checkout http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/wxwebcore/trunk
on
http://developer.berlios.de/svn/?group_id=3786
Thanks, I checked into this, but this is actually berlios' mistake,
and there's no way I know of to fix it, unfortunately (aside from
switching providers).

I'm working on upgrading the linux port now. For this I feel I

Are there any strong feelings on adding autoconf support for
building.
My personal experiences with build software with autoconf, even on
mainstream Linux distros (Debian, Red Hat, Ubuntu) is negative
which
means that I failed to build it more often than I succeded.
Sometimes
autoconf version that I had was too old, sometimes too new,
sometimes
depended m4 macros were not installed but most of the time I would
just get incomprehensible, impossible to debug error message.
Autoconf is better than nothing but I would personally prefer a
hand-written Makefile.
Common belief is that only autoconf/automake etc. is able to
support
building under wide variety of Unixes but projects like e.g. ffmpeg
show that it's possible to write a makefile and a custom
configure.sh
script that works.
Yes I agree that it could work using makefiles but I don't think
thats
and option
for me right now since for now I'm the only one that seems to be
working
on this
and then only in my spare time. I don't think that spending a lot of
time developing a
make only build system is the best way to get the linux port in the
mainstream to entice other developers to participate. I'd rather get
it working under autoconf then maybe considering how butt ugly
autoconf is Apple will allow the command line xcode tools to be
ported to linux :)
Or more likely replace it with a simple make based build system
later.
