| If you are building from CVS, run the script |
| |
| ./autogen.sh |
| |
| first, to make sure that you have all the necessary maintainer tools |
| are installed and to build the actual configuration files. Then run |
| |
| ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode |
| |
| followed by the usual make. |
| |
| If autogen.sh complains about insufficient versions of the required |
| tools, or the tools are not installed, you may use environment |
| variables to override the default tool names: |
| |
| AUTOMAKE_SUFFIX is used as a suffix for all tools from the automake |
| package. For example |
| AUTOMAKE_SUFFIX="-1.7" ./autogen.sh |
| uses "automake-1.7" and "aclocal-1.7. |
| AUTOMAKE_PREFIX is used as a prefix for all tools from the automake |
| page and may be combined with AUTOMAKE_SUFFIX. e.g.: |
| AUTOMAKE_PREFIX=/usr/foo/bin ./autogen.sh |
| uses "automake" and "aclocal" in the /usr/foo/bin |
| directory. |
| AUTOCONF_SUFFIX is used as a suffix for all tools from the automake |
| package |
| AUTOCONF_PREFIX is used as a prefix for all tools from the automake |
| package |
| GETTEXT_SUFFIX is used as a suffix for all tools from the gettext |
| package |
| GETTEXT_PREFIX is used as a prefix for all tools from the gettext |
| package |
| |
| It is also possible to use the variable name AUTOMAKE, AUTOCONF, |
| ACLOCAL, AUTOHEADER, GETTEXT and MSGMERGE to directly specify the name |
| of the programs to run. It is however better to use the suffix and |
| prefix forms as described above because that does not require |
| knowledge about the actual tools used by autgen.sh. |
| |
| |
| Please don't use autopoint, libtoolize or autoreconf unless you are |
| the current maintainer and want to update the standard configuration |
| files. All those files should be in the CVS and only updated manually |
| if the maintainer decides that newer versions are required. The |
| maintainer should also make sure that the required version of automake |
| et al. are properly indicated at the top of configure.ac and take care |
| to copy the files and not merely use symlinks. |
