Do not distribute files in python_PYTHON primary?

2012-11-19 Thread Nate Bargmann
The library project I am maintaining has various language bindings generated by the Swig package. Each of the language bindings are enabled by an Automake conditional. As there were various files being generated no matter if a language binding was enabled or not, I've set about trying to correct

make distcheck fails when modules not installed

2013-03-10 Thread Nate Bargmann
This is a long-standing bug in our project and I've yet to figure out how to address it. The project is primarily a library that once installed has a "front end" installed in libdir and N "back ends" (linked by libtool with the '-module' option and using libltdl for dlopen) installed in pkglibdir.

Conditional variable based on silent or not silent?

2013-06-08 Thread Nate Bargmann
Perhaps this is more of a GNU Make question than of Automake. The prjoect I work with uses Swig and while there is no provision for turning off all warnings, certain warnings can be quelled. While I can add the needed option to the Makefile.am, I would like to place a variable in that position th

Some advice I received from a Debian developer (packager) was that it works better when upstream projects refrain from using the hyphen '-' in their version string. The packaging software will consider "1.0-rc1" to be more recent than "1.0" as the packaging system appends '-*' to the end of the up

Re: Python2 and Python3 checks

I am dealing with this in the Hamlib project. We are using the Autoconf macro from the macro archive and by default it identifies Python2 which is then passed to Swig to build the Python bindings. The same macro also supports Python3 with a bit of care and a couple of extra steps such as running
