Hello, I'm new to autotools and currently I'm using C++ with autotools and vim. I was wondering how you usually run the programs. My current workflow is the following: My folder structure: | project_home | - configure.ac | - Makefile.am | - configure | - build/ | - sandbox/ | - src/ | - Makefile.am | - source1.c++ | - source2.c++ I use two terminals, one is running vim from inside the src dir. The other one has a variable PREFIX=$project_root/sandbox, and I use it to compile and run the program, which is usually the follow command sequence: Once in a while: % ./configure --prefix="$PREFIX" And then every modification: % make % make install % "$PREFIX/bin/project_name" Is there any way to automate this? How people usually do it? _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
