Win7-64-bit
Cygwin
Automake 1.14.1
The example given on the page has:
% cat configure.ac
o o o
AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE([tap-driver.sh])
o o o
% cat Makefile.am
TEST_LOG_DRIVER = env AM_TAP_AWK='$(AWK)' $(SHELL) \
$(top_srcdir)/build-aux/tap-driver.sh
o o o
% cp PREFIX/share/automake-APIVERSION/tap-driver.pl .
Do you mean
% cp /PREFIX/share/automake-APIVERSION/tap-driver.sh .
There is no reference in your example to tap-driver.pl in Makefile.am or
configure.ac.
On my cygwin system there are several automakes (automake-1.5 automake-1.7
automake-1.9 automake-1.4 automake-1.6 automake-1.8 automake-1.10
automake-1.11 automake-1.12 automake-1.13 automake-1.14) which allows (I
suspect) inconsistencies between versions to be best accommodated by
selecting a version of choice (?). In consequence the tap-driver.sh
reference is version specific (automake-*/). Again on my system, there is no
automake-APIVERSION. So, is this access path specific to Unix* or is it no
longer relevant?
As a note, shouldn't examples be explained?
