Sorry to interrupt your normally scheduled programming...
I've read most of the documentation or tutorials I could find, but I'm afraid much of it went right past me. Most of the tutorials seem to focus on very straightforward examples, e.g. 'hello world' stuff. I have a small project, and I decided I should attempt to take the plunge into the world of autoconf/automake. I managed to create a useable configure.ac, and a few Makefile.am's in a couple of subdirectories, and the config.h.in is constructed. Now comes the question of how to make this wonderful build system help me do something beyond what I might have managed myself with simple Makefiles. My application uses:
1. POSIX threads Is this solved as easily as adding the acx_pthread macro in aclocal.m4, then calling it in configure.ac and using the defined variables to properly set my foo_CFLAGS, foo_LIBS (or do I use LDADD?), etc., in my Makefile.am?
2. A header file which seems to be in different places on some platforms (net/ethernet.h, sys/ethernet.h, and perhaps others). What am I supposed to construct to define something that will help me include the correct header file?
Perhaps I just glossed over an obvious example, so if I did, just point me to the correct location in the docs, and I'll attempt to take the next steps by myself. Thanks for your patience!!!
