On the topic of automatically-generated documentation, how does one handle installing all the zillions of HTML files that doxygen generates? I don't know their filenames in advance, so I can't list them all in noinst_DATA. The best I have come up with is to use an install hook as follows.

built files in CVS

2001-09-22 Thread Steve M. Robbins
Hello, I presume the automake developers track the CVS tree and frequently build new versions of automake for testing. Could you let us in on the secret to minimizing the following annoyance? The CVS tree includes things like Makefile.in. But this file is also generated from Makefile.am when I

AM_CFLAGS and sub/foo.c

2001-06-13 Thread Steve M. Robbins
Hi, I'm quite confused by the behaviour of CVS automake and AM_CFLAGS. Given the following Makefile.am bin_PROGRAMS = foo foo_SOURCES = foo.c sub/foo2.c it turns out that "foo.c" is compiled using $(COMPILE), and hence includes AM_CFLAGS. However, "foo2.c" is compiled *without

1.4-p1 chokes after autoupdate

2001-05-23 Thread Steve M. Robbins
Hi, I've switched to autoconf-2.50. After running "autoupdate" (it seemed like a good idea at the time), I discovered that automake 1.4 can't find any of the Makefile.am's. This is because autoupdate replaced the AC_OUTPUT with AC_CONFIG_FILES in configure.in. I think this patch fixes it, and I

istcheck-hook ... And make balks at this line. The fix (below) is to put the "$(MAKE) ... distcheck-hook" on a separate line. And put a semicolon after it! -Steve P.S. I have no clue if this affects automake CVS. But a 1.4-p2 would be appreciated! 2001-05-12 Steve M
