Subject: Passing configure options to make distcheck - msg#00047

List: sysutils.automake.general

Date: Prev Next Index Thread: Prev Next Index

We have some code that is built by default, but cannot be successfully
used with separate srcdir/objdir. However, a configure option can be
used that doesn't need this code.

make distcheck fails by default, but if I could pass in a configure
option, it would work. Can I do this ?

I'm using automake 1.5 upwards, autoconf 2.13 upwards

thanks
john

Modifying installed script names ?

Hi, we have three scripts that need to be installed differently depending on an configure option. If a condition is set, then op_start_25,op_dump_25,op_stop_25 need to be installed as op_start,op_dump,op_stop, otherwise we can just install the existing op_start/dump/stop in the source tree. How can I do this so make dist and separate objdir/srcdir will still work properly ? I'm using automake 1.5 upwards and autoconf 2.13 upwards thanks john -- "Anyone who says you can have a lot of widely dispersed people hack away on a complicated piece of code and avoid total anarchy has never managed a software project." - Andy Tanenbaum

I can't upgrade to 1.7.2, because it depends on autoconf-2.54. Redhat 7.3/8.0 only includes 2.53. I tried 1.6.3. That worked OK. However, when I do a "make check" on 1.6.3 it fails test "lex5.test". Any ideas what is going wrong? -Dan
