Using automake & libtool instead of just autoconf.. ?
Since we also ``sometimes'' have problems with incorrect configurations... ;-) Read this on the octave mailing list : (I'm not using octave; I'm trying to hear what they are talking about) ------- Start of forwarded message ------- Date: Mon, 17 May 1999 10:30:51 +0200 From: Thomas Walter <walter@pctc.chemie.uni-erlangen.de> To: jwe@bevo.che.wisc.edu CC: gohel@babbage.csee.usf.edu, help-octave@bevo.che.wisc.edu Subject: Re: IRIX octave 2.0.14 can't find runtime libs>>>>> "John" == John W Eaton <jwe@bevo.che.wisc.edu> writes:[snip] John> Eventually, Octave's configure script and Makefiles should be fixed to John> use libtool, which should help to make these things work better.

Writing the dependencies into the files 'Makefile.am' is much easier because they are much shorter then `Makefile.in' files.. After that calling 'automake' will build all the 'Makefile.in'. And 'automake' knows how to use 'libtool'. There will be no need write rules to call 'libtool' by hand. What are the opinions about that? I have used automake and libtool for a long time and I would help to do the step. ... ------- End of forwarded message ------- Any "R-devel"er who's willing to help here ?
