Qonk

As I e-mailed to Robert, I have committed
the networked qonk. It's ugly and hacked together, hopefully it works ;)

I have also added Balachmar (Willem / wligtenberg@...), he's also in
our department and would to contribute as well :) hope you don't mind

regards
Loek

Hi,
the autoconf branch now contains something compileable. Please test it
if you want and tell me when it breaks or add the neccessary changes
yourself.

Short manual:
apt-get/emerge/.. the autoconf-foo (automake, autoconf)

Run ./autogen.sh

You should now have a configure.sh

I hope you know that one of the coolest thing of the autotools is
out-of-tree compilation. From where ever you are do:
<path_to_src>/configure .

and then make and make install.

And you should know that there is a standard option called --prefix
which allows the very convenient in-home-dir-installations:

configure --prefix=3D/home/rob/INSTALL/qonk is what I usually do on my
machine. This makes it possible that I do not need root rights for 'make
install' and I can cleanly uninstall by doing:

rm -rf /home/rob/INSTALL/qonk

Btw: Is everybody on the list already?

Regards
Robert

I can't try it out now, because I haven't got a recent enough version of autoconf. Will do something about it after when I get back form my Easter holidays. For a future release I think this should work with the version of autoconf in the current stable versions of the large distributions.

Have a nice holiday all of you.

Good to hear. Have a fine holiday!

This isn't much of a problem. Non-developers are supposed to not have
the autotools installed. They get a source tarballs which already
includes the scripts. One generates that tarball with 'make dist' I think=
