PATCH: Disable automake portability warnings

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The latest automake has a nasty habit of complaining about use of GNU Make
features such as wildcards. We use these extensively in the tests/ directory
since there are so many test datafiles, listing them explicitly is a waste
of time.

The attached patch passes the -Wno-portability flag to automake to make it
keep quiet.

NB, to do this required a bit of a re-working of the automake/autoconf
initialization stuff. Our current configure script uses AC_INIT and 
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE in the so called 'legacy style'. 

To quote the automake  manual

[quote]
     If your `configure.ac' has:

          AC_INIT([src/foo.c])
          AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([mumble], [1.5])

     you can modernize it as follows:

          AC_INIT([mumble], [1.5])
          AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([src/foo.c])
          AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
[/quote]

This re-arrangement is valid on any non-jurassic era automake & only impacts
developers running autogen.sh - not end users running the configure script
itself.

The one complication is that the version given to AC_INIT must be a literal,
but we currently used an environment variable. So m4 black-magic gets around
this problem. 

I also killed LIBVIRT_VERSION_EXTRA since it is not referenced anywhere in
the source tree.

Dan.
