Hi all,
I am a windows xp (SP3)user and new to linux utilities.
I need to use autoconf, and other auto tools from linux.I have the
following installed in my system.
-Msys version 1.0.11
-msysDTK-1.0.1
-msysgit
-wget-1.11.4-1
-autoconf-2.68
-automake-1.11.1
-libtool-2.4.1
-libcrypt-1.1
-perl-5.8.8
-m4-1.4.14
-gettext-runtime_0.18.1.1-2_win32
-glib_2.28.1-1_win32
-glib_2.28.8-1_win32
-pkg-config_0.23-3_win32
-pkg-config-dev_0.23-3_win32
I tried the tutorial "Introduction to autotools" from the <b>
http://www.dwheeler.com/autotools</b>
Configure.ac was created with the following lines,
AC_INIT([hello], [0.01])
AC_OUTPUT
>From the Msys shell, ran the command
$ autoreconf -i
I got the following log,
/usr/share/aclocal/autoopts.m4:22: warning: underquoted definition of
AG_PATH_AU
TOOPTS
/usr/share/aclocal/autoopts.m4:22: run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
/usr/share/aclocal/autoopts.m4:22: or see
http://sources.redhat.com/automake/a
utomake.html#Extending-aclocal
I previously tried another archived tutorial from the net, i.e.,
with a directory called hello-initial. The 'hello-initial' has a src
directory containing hello.c and hello.h.
I created Makefile.am with the following line:
SUBDIRS=src.
Within the src directory, created Makefile.am with the following lines,
helloprgdir=../
helloprg_PROGRAMS=hello
hello_SOURCES=hello.c
I cd ed to the hello-initial directory in the msys shell, and followed the
tutorial, and the following log was produced namely,
`Raji@COMPUTER_1 ~
$ cd /gold/hello-initial
Raji@COMPUTER_1 /gold/hello-initial
$ autoscan
Raji@COMPUTER_1 /gold/hello-initial
$ aclocal
/usr/share/aclocal/autoopts.m4:22: warning: underquoted definition of

$ automake -ac

Pl help.
