Dear All, I'm a newbie to the autoconf list. I'm familiar with linux, m4, ... but still a newbie to auto* stuff. I'm working inside GCC and need to regenerate the configure scripts there. I summarized my understanding of GCC configurism in the Wiki http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Regenerating_GCC_Configuration this page was previously known as http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/AboutGCCConfiguration on the GCC wiki. I do undersand that GCC is quite complex w.r.t. autoconf (in particular, using autogen, 2 different versions of autoconf, and the build/host/target distinction in GCC). I asked on the GCC mailing list http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2006-11/msg00587.html http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2006-11/msg00508.html http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2006-10/msg00610.html but did not got any definitive answers. So I am asking again here: what are the exact steps to regenerate all the configure files within GCC (the Subversion trunk branch, currently rev 118865 of svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk)? My current guess is GCCTOP=${1:-/usr/src/Lang/basile-ggcc/} cd $GCCTOP || { echo failed to cd $GCCTOP ; exit 1 } pwd rm -rf autom4te.cache */autom4te.cache autogen Makefile.def autoconf2.13 autoconf2.13 echo done twice autoconf2 cd gcc pwd autoheader-2.59 autoheader-2.59 echo done twice autoheader-2.59 autoconf-2.59 autoconf-2.59 echo done twice autoconf-2.59 echo done regen-basile-gcc but I thought that a toplevel autoreconf might be enough... So what are the exact steps to regenerate the GCC configure scripts? Sometimes I am getting things like aclocal:configure.ac:1120: warning: macro `AM_LC_MESSAGES' not found in library configure.ac:1120: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_LC_MESSAGES What does that means exactly. I don't define or use the AM_LC_MESSAGES But the error is not reproducible... Disappears after rerunning stuff (details in my messages on GCC list, see their URLs above) Feel free to edit the http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Regenerating_GCC_Configuration wiki page regards -- Basile STARYNKEVITCH http://starynkevitch.net/Basile/ email: basile<at>starynkevitch<dot>net mobile: +33 6 8501 2359 8, rue de la Faïencerie, 92340 Bourg La Reine, France *** opinions {are only mines, sont seulement les miennes} *** _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
