Oh and I need to do some actions pre-uninstall too

Hi

I am just a newbie here but I have a code that I would like to port. This is my first time packaging any program.... and I am quite stumped..

After installing the `autotoolset', (assuming that it was done completely), i ran the `acmkdir test' to make the necessary templates for the package... but in the `aclocal'  phase. the system complains about "underquoted definition" warnings... and then ends with not finding acsite.m4 in the /usr/share/aclocal.... actually I cant find acsite.m4 anywhere in my system... I have automake 1.85, autoconf  2.59 and libtool 1.5.6... the autoolset is 0.11.4.... 

please advise...

Thanks
Erin

I just realized that there's only like five subscribers to this
mailing list.  Fortunately, I figured out my problem.  So here it is
for posterity.

See the backslash (in the AC_OUTPUT line)?  I don't know *how* I did
this, as I've been using Linux for so many years now (and I even use
cygwin on my Windows box at work).  Forward slashes ('/') are a part
of me!

Anyway, once the line was changed to the following

      AC_OUTPUT(Makefile src/Makefile)

all my problems went away!

I hope someone (someday) finds this useful!  I've just doubled the
number of messages in the autotoolset-users mailing list archive :)

I've been working on a relatively simple library for a while.  Now I
wish to have it built with the auto build toolset.  I'm following
the tutorial at:

    http://autotoolset.sourceforge.net/tutorial.html

In my top level directory, I have Makefile.am, which looks like
this:

    EXTRA_DIST = reconf configure
    SUBDIRS = src 

And a configure.in that looks like this:

    AC_INIT
    AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE("libmng_util", 0.1)
    AC_PROG_CC
    AC_PROG_INSTALL
    AC_PROG_RANLIB
    AC_HEADER_STDC
    AC_OUTPUT(Makefile src\Makefile)

My reconf script looks like this:

    rm -f config.cache
    rm -f acconfig.h
    aclocal -I m4 > /dev/null 2>&1
    autoconf
    #acconfig
    #autoheader
    automake -a

All my source files are actually in the "src" sub-directory, where I
have this Makefile.am:

    bin_PROGRAMS = libmng_util
    libmng_util_SOURCES = \
        (all .c files listed here)

Now, whenever I run automake (either by hand or via reconf), I get
the following error:

configure.in:23: required file `src\Makefile.in' not found

Shouldn't the auto toolset be creating this file for me (based on
src\Makefile.am)?

I'm sure I'm overlooking something trivial, but I've been staring at
this so long that I need another set of eyes to help out!

FWIW, I'm on gentoo Linux, using the following version of the auto
toolset:

automake (GNU automake) 1.9.5
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59
aclocal (GNU automake) 1.9.5
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.16 (1.1220.2.235 2005/04/25 18:13:26)
GNU Make 3.80

Thank you!
Matt

hi folks,
I just tried the autotoolset to set up a small GNU project (in C).
seems everything is working well but I have troubles with the config.h.in &
config.h files.
They are not created or they're empty. if I remove the "AM_CONFIG_HEADER"
macro, all defines are passed via -D and my project compiles (because all
the defines are present).
Another problem is, that configure doesn't find any headers (even standard
headers):

checking for stdlib.h... no
checking for string.h... no
checking for ANSI C header files... (cached) no


I finally found out, that replacing the LF_* macros in configure.ac with the
appropriate AC_PROG_CC, AC_* ... macros solves both problems. So maybe those
LF_* macros are not working and/or broken? Or do I have to do some
additional work to get the LF_* things work ?

I'm using a gentoo system (2.6) & used the only available and most recent
ebuild autotoolset-0.11.4.

Dear Open Source developer

I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I kindly invite you to participate.
You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to complete it.

With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development.


With many thanks for your participation,
Benno Luthiger


PS:
The results of the survey will be published under http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/.
We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_en.html for registration to this mailing list.
