IDL dependencies, proposed solution.

2000-05-31 Thread Alex Hornby
As IDL files use standard C preprocessor syntax for dependent inclusion, is it not possible to wrap the idl compile in depcomp? My IDL build rules are already structured as suffix rules, with a small wrapper script around the IDL compiler that uses lockfile(1) to prevent two targets (e.g. client

I'd like to make a small suggestion for autoconf -- it would be helpful in debugging configuration problems if the output that is displayed on the screen during configuration: checking for gcc... cc checking whether the C compiler (cc -O2 -g ) works... yes checking whether the C compiler (c

I'd like to move the "-c" argument usually attached to the end of the definition of "INSTALL" over to those "INSTALL_*" macros that need it. This has bugged me for a long time and I finally encountered a real situation where I couldn't easily hack around the problem. It turns out that some versi
