Re: [Gluster-devel] automake

[Anand Avati]

You might want to read autobook for the general theory behind autotools. Here's a quick summary -

aclocal prepares the running of autotools.

autoheader prepares autotools to generate a config.h to be consumed by C code

configure.ac is the "source" to discover the build system and accept user parameters

autoconf converts configure.ac to configure

Makefile.am is the "source" to define what is to be built and how.

automake converts Makefile.am to Makefile.in

till here everything is scripted in ./autogen.sh

running configure creates Makefile out of Makefile.in

now run make :)

Hello,


 I have built a new module and I can't seem to
get the changed makefiles to be built.  I have not
used "configure" in any of my projects and I'm
not seeing an answer from my google searches.

 The error that I get is during the "make" where
glusterfs-3.2.6/missing errors at line 52
"automake-1.9: command not found".

 This is a newer RedHat environment and it has
automake 1.11 .. if I cp 1.11 to 1.9 I get other
errors ... libtool is reporting that the automake
version is 1.11.1.  I believe that it is getting the
1.9 version from Gluster ...

 How do I get a new Makefile.am and Makefile.in
to work in this structure?



Cheers,
