Hi Guys, I've created a new gtk+ project using autotools. Everything works fine. But it isn't completely clear to me how to use it properly in my development cycle.
I write/change code or data. Then I compile. If it compiles and links properly, I run some automated tests and run the program to test it manually. It's an gui application so automated tests are a bit difficult. The last step is important. But that's exactly the problem. I do ./configure --prefix=mydebugdir once. Then I do make && make check. Here's the first Problem. My program needs Data. So I pass in the data path with my CPPFLAGS. But that's the path when installed. So I have to install my app first before I can test it. I found installcheck. But it seems to be unused. I'm a bit confused. In total I have to call make && make check && make install && make installcheck && path_to_program/program && make uninstall This is a lot for such a common thing. What I'm doing wrong here? Thanks, Martin
