Hi, I am working at the Los Alamos National Laboratory on a project involving the IBM Cell processor. Building for the cell requires several compilation steps with different compilers. I would like to add to the languages supported by autotools so that there is a simple way to define and build programs for the cell. As I only have experience in using autoconf, automake, etc..., I'm not sure how to add support for this platform. From looking at the automake script, it appears to be possible to add new languages. However, when I try to register a new language, i.e., ppuc (with compile variable PPUCC), I get an error saying that the variable is not defined. I mention this to demonstrate my naivety with developing autotools. So, my question is: Is anyone willing/able to help me get started with this, and is this something that other people have interest in? I believe that processors like the cell will play a role in software development in the future, so it is worth developing tools to handle building on heterogeneous computing platforms.
