I am looking to convert my projects from using only a Makefile to using AutoMake and AutoConf. A while ago this would not have been a problem, but I have since added functionality into my Makefiles to retreive some code from CVS, for instance a C/C++ TCP class. The Makefile uses the syntax: Shared_Modules: Shared/ make -C Shared/ And then the Makefile in Shared/ follows the syntax: CVS = cvs TCP_RELEASE = TCP_RELEASE_1_0 TCP: TCP/ $(CVS) export -r $(TCP_RELEASE) TCP Note: I use the standard CVSROOT in the environment variable. I intend on providing information so that other people can modify the CVS variable when accessing it off-site (i.e. the whole :ext:user@cvs. thing). I use this in order to be able to make the project use the latest code from my CVS. From what I could tell from the AutoConf manual (and a quick search of the Mailing list archives) this may not be possible using AutoConf. Is there a way that I can keep this functionality and still use AutoConf & AutoMake? Help is much appreciated! TIA, Benjamen R. Meyer __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
