"make distcheck" with a cross compiler

I'm new to autoconf, I'll let you know that right up front. It's a wonderful build system and I can see it's going to save me tons of time and effort. I've built my first project with it and it works fine, even with my cross compiler to "ARM", but I can't seem to do a "distcheck" of course be

AC_CONFIG_FILES or AC_OUTPUT

I see tutorials where Makefiles come from both: AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile]) AC_OUTPUT And AC_OUTPUT([Makefile]) Which is the "proper" format? Is one method just newer than the other? Thanks Doug P ___ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@gnu.org http

Building a 2.6 device driver with GNU Build system

I there a Tutorial available that might help me put some 2.6 Kernel device driver code under the GNU Build system? I have successfully done some regular code, even cross compiled to ARM, but I'm under the impression that the you have to use the "Kernel build" system for device drivers. How do

Noobie question about building libraries: catch 22

I'm wanting to build a library as part of my application, but since configure wants to detect my library with the AC_CHECK_LIB I have in the configure.ac, but can't because it's not built yet, how do I do this? Here is my configure.ac: AC_INIT(src/SysScheduler.c) AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(sScheduler,0
