- would be nice to reduce amount of changed files
(codegen output is often the same as the existing files - something similar to ccache
for codegen - but not overwriting output files if they are the same)
-- howto include the part after "# always the same:" in all makefiles using the codegenerator
+- howto include the part after "# always the same:" in all makefiles (using the codegenerator)
(we now use make's include)
- lib name should be group name + suffix/prefix
-- at the moment make dist from within a clean source will not work
- (this is related to the nodist problem / old automake version)
- the example should not get installed (but still it should show how to build a lib that gets installed :-(
(overwriting install: doesn't work)
+- at the moment make dist from within a clean source will not work
+ (this is related to the nodist problem / old automake version)
+ this is caused by BUILT_SOURCES not working for make dist(check?)
+ and the dependency generation
-- dist-hook in included makefile does not work (because automake doesn't see it!)
-- CLEANFILES doesn't work in included makefile either
-
-BUG:
-- first time builds without dependency files fail (.P)!
- maybe yet another problem caused by automake?
- probably yes
- AHH:
- automake supports include
- the real problem is: at the time automake runs there is no include!
- (since it is "added" by the configure script)
+ distcheck -> dist -> distdir -> DISTFILES
- => the real problem:
- configure should find the make file snippet
- Makefile.am should include it
- automake is run before configure (on the Makefile.am)
+ all -> all-redirect -> all-am -> Makefile -> BUILT_SOURCES => bene
+ => how to add dependency on BUILT_SOURCES for dist?
+ the real problem is that make dist should not depend on BUILT_SOURCES
+ unfortunately we can't fix this as long as we use a old automake version
+- add (standalone) example using generated client library
+ (=> depends on installed example)
+ example consists of: the same client.cpp but provides a configure.in and Makefile.am
