NOTE: I routinely build in non-source directories because I can keep separate sets of configure options. Bob, server/Makefile's VPATH only contains the expansion of @top_srcdir@/server, which in this case is ../../server. This means that make won't be able to find any sources listed that exist in

more flexibility on the make command line. 2. Don't use either autoconf or make variables in automake file lists because it may confuse dependency management code - VPATH is your friend here. Thanks again! John On Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 10:39 AM, John Calcote <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Eri

Are dependency lists statically defined?

2008-03-27 Thread John Calcote
he impression that such dependency lists MUST be statically defined for the sake of automake. Is this no longer true? Or was it ever true? If it's not true, then what is the recommended method for building more dynamic dependency lists? Thanks, John

ortunately, I haven't started on my automake chapter yet (that's Chapter 4), but there is a fair amount of generic information about the problems that automake tries to solve in Chapters 1 and 2. John

y on mingw and in the lib directory on other platforms. This is proper for both systems. What it requires is an conditional section in your Makefile.am, checking for mingw platform. The variable can be setup in your configure.ac script, and exported using AM_CONDITIONAL. John

ries like binaries, so expects to find them in the executable path, while Unix treats them as separate first-class entities. They have their own search paths, separate from binaries, plus about half a dozen other ways to find libraries - some system-configured, and others hard-coded into your app by the linker. But none of these methods look in the bin directory for a library. John
