Linux configure file generation

1. Install the tool automake and Autoconf. Compile the source program: mycc. C.

#include <stdio.h>#include "config.h"int main(int argc, char** argv){    if(argv == 1)    {        printf("version: %s\n", PACKAGE_STRING);    }    else    {        printf("name     : %s\n", PACKAGE);        printf("version  : %s\n", VERSION);        printf("bugreport: %s\n", PACKAGE_BUGREPORT);    }    return 0;}

It should be noted that the macro used in mycc. C is from config. H, and config. H is generated by the tool (see the following article)

2. Run autoscan to generate Configure. Scan

[root@waf mypkg]# autoscan[root@waf mypkg]# lsautoscan.log  configure.scan  mycc.c[root@waf mypkg]#

Rename Configure. Scan to configure. In and edit Configure. In.

#                                               -*- Autoconf -*-# Process this file with autoconf to produce a configure script.AC_PREREQ([2.63])AC_INIT([mycc], [1.0.0], [www.mycc.org])AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([mycc.c])AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([config.h])AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([mycc], [1.0.0])# Checks for programs.AC_PROG_CC# Checks for libraries.# Checks for header files.# Checks for typedefs, structures, and compiler characteristics.# Checks for library functions.AC_OUTPUT(Makefile)

3. Run aclocal and Autoconf

[root@waf mypkg]# aclocal[root@waf mypkg]# lsaclocal.m4  autom4te.cache  autoscan.log  configure.in  mycc.c[root@waf mypkg]# autoconf[root@waf mypkg]# lsaclocal.m4  autom4te.cache  autoscan.log  configure  configure.in  mycc.c

4. Create makefile. Am. content:

AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS=foreignbin_PROGRAMS=myccmycc_SOURCES=mycc.c

5. Run autoheader to generate config. H. In (automake is required)

[root@waf mypkg]# lsaclocal.m4  autom4te.cache  autoscan.log  configure  configure.in  mycc.c[root@waf mypkg]# vim Makefile.am[root@waf mypkg]# autoheader[root@waf mypkg]# lsaclocal.m4      autoscan.log  configure     Makefile.amautom4te.cache  config.h.in   configure.in  mycc.c

6. Run automake to generate configure

[root@waf mypkg]# automake --add-missingconfigure.in:8: installing `./install-sh'configure.in:8: installing `./missing'Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'[root@waf mypkg]#

7. Try configure.

./configuremakemake install
