Hi
I started adding some m4 macros to my program, that I put in the m4
directory in my sources, and that will be installed during the make install.
I then added
aclocaldir = $(datadir)/aclocal
aclocal_DATA = ax_boost_base.m4 ax_boost_regex.m4
in the m4/Makefile.am
and
ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4
in the root Makefile.am (together with m4 in subdirs).
Now, if I run autoreconf, it will install the .m4 files related to
libtool in my m4 directory:
libtoolize: putting macros in `m4'.
libtoolize: copying file `m4/libtool.m4'
libtoolize: You should add the contents of `m4/libtool.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.
libtoolize: copying file `m4/ltoptions.m4'
libtoolize: You should add the contents of `m4/ltoptions.m4' to
`aclocal.m4'.
libtoolize: copying file `m4/ltsugar.m4'
libtoolize: You should add the contents of `m4/ltsugar.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.
libtoolize: copying file `m4/ltversion.m4'
libtoolize: You should add the contents of `m4/ltversion.m4' to
`aclocal.m4'.
libtoolize: copying file `m4/lt~obsolete.m4'
libtoolize: You should add the contents of `m4/lt~obsolete.m4' to
`aclocal.m4'.
libtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.ac and
libtoolize: rerunning libtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros
in-tree.
is it a good thing? Or would it be better to keep these macros in a
different directory? In that case I should pass
AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([other value?]).
What is the most used convention about this?
thanks in advance
Lorenzo
