- 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)
+- lib name should be group name + suffix/prefix ?!
+ user should have complete control => no default suffix/perfix
+ headers should be installed in pkgincludedir? maybe yes on the other hand
+ the user can pass the directory to configure via --includedir
- the example should not get installed (but still it should show how to build a lib that gets installed :-(
(overwriting install: doesn't work)
+ => perhaps split libt2n package into 3 packages?
+ libt2n
+ libt2n-example-codegen
+ libt2n-example-libusage
+- 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
+
+ distcheck -> dist -> distdir -> DISTFILES
+
+ 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
+ (DISTFILES includes generated files we would like to mark as noinst)
+- make clean / make distclean?! make clean geht beim zweiten mal nicht
+ now it works?! why?!
+ das ganze ist abhängig davon in welchem verzeichnis man ist?!
+ das problem ist:
+ BUILT_SOURCES -> generierte files -> codegen !
+ (make clean in toplevel src dir -> codegen does not exist)
-- dist-hook in included makefile does not work (because automake doesn't see it!)
-- CLEANFILES doesn't work in included makefile either
+ => how to get rid off BUILT_SOURCES
+ or how to get rid off dependency off clean and dist on BUILT_SOURCES files ?
+ (the nodist problem)
-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)
+ getting rid off BUILT_SOURCES would not suffice
+ (explicit dependencies still would depend upon the files)
+ => the real problem is the missing nodist
- => the real problem:
- configure should find the make file snippet
- Makefile.am should include it
- automake is run before configure (on the Makefile.am)
+ => workaround for old automake version?
+ a workaround would require us not to use _SOURCES but still be able to add object files
+ to the libs/bins created
+ looking at the generated Makefile this perhaps could be done via _OBJECTS
+
+ nodist wurde mit automake 1.5 eingeführt (2001-08-23)
+
+ what doesn't work:
+ - make dist and make clean only work if you did a make all
+ hmm Makefile should not depend on BUILT_SOURCES
