Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can point me to any information on how to
configure from a top-level directory multiple sub-directories with
different configure requirements. I searched the autoconf archives
but didn't get any relevant matches, but I may not have used the correct
search parameters.
I have three directories (and plan to add more) that I would like to
configure from the top-level directory. However, the way I am using
autoconf is forcing the same configure line to be used on all three
directories. Is there a way to have an autoconf/automake/libtool
top-level directory and have the configures for each subdirectories be
different? Basically, throw control to the subdirectories and allow
them to configure individually? AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS doesn't seem to be
the right specification.
The goals for this project are to have the subdirectories (libraries)
able to be configured and built individually. For convenience, we
would like to have a top-level configure that would configure and build
all the libraries.
My subdirectories are: libcbtf, libcbtf-xml, libcbtf-mrnet. Each
subdirectory has different package requirements and has been set up to
use autoconf, automake, libtool, m4, etc..
I bootstrap using these commands:
aclocal --force -I m4
libtoolize --copy --force --ltdl
autoheader --force
automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing --foreign
autoconf
My configure.ac:
AC_PROG_CXX
AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
AC_PROG_INSTALL
LT_CONFIG_LTDL_DIR([libltdl])
LT_INIT([dlopen])
LTDL_INIT([recursive])
...
<host specific code>
...
AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS(libcbtf)
AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS(libcbtf-xml)
AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS(libcbtf-mrnet)
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])
AC_OUTPUT
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim G.
