#2 misc fixes (lf_* macro defs, aclocal path, mkinstalldirs)
run into a few problems using acmkdir in version
0.11.4, and happened to fix them. i use: autoconf 2.59,
automake 1.9.4, m4 1.4.2.
- lf_*.m4 macros used obsoleted AC_DEFUN syntax : had
to quote macro names to get rid of the warnings. did
this for all m4/lf_*.m4 files: put the names between [ ]'s.
- when creating a new project, the aclocal command did
not see the lf_*.m4 macros, because they were installed
into /usr/local/share/aclocal. modified
src/acmkdir/Makefile.am and src/acmkdir/acmkdir.sh to
add a -I <dir> option to the aclocal call in the reconf
script. the dir will be $(datadir)/aclocal.
- autoheader complained about missing templates for the
definitions (AC_DEFINE) in lf_*.m4 files. fixed this by
adding the (3rd) comment argument to the definitions.
- LF_LINK_HEADERS calls the ./mkinstalldirs script to
create the link include directories. however, the
mkinstalldirs script was not copied to the new project
root by acmkdir, and it was not installed to
/usr/local/... when running 'make install' in the
autotoolset source dir. fixed this by adding
$(top_srcdir)/config/mkinstalldirs to autotoolset_DATA
in src/acmkdir/Makefile.am and added a cp to acmkdir.sh
(to the end of create_toplevel_dir) to copy the script
to the target directory.
to apply the patch: go to the source dir of 0.11.4, then
$ patch -u -p1 < difffile
$ ./reconf
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

Patch does not apply cleanly to CVS. Some of the changes have already
been made. Please, try to get a cvs snapshot and do the patches there.
Then resubmit, please.

checked out from cvs and compared the versions:
(cvs -z3
-d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/autotoolset
co -P autotoolset)
- the m4/lf_* files already contained the quotation fixes
already (first issue above)
- the AC_DEFINE comment fixes for autoheader were not yet
applied, so i did it (third issue)
- src/acmkdir is the same in 0.11.4 and cvs HEAD except for
a few new files. the two files i've modified are Makefile.am
and acmkdir.sh (this fixes the second and the fourth issue)
the '/config' dir is present in 0.11.4, but missing
completely in cvs HEAD. but my patched makefile copied
mkinstalldirs from the '/config' dir to the shared data dir.
oooops. then i copied mkinstalldirs from the old
0.11.4/config to src/acmkdir/mkinstalldirs.sh, edited
Makefile.am to produce mkinstalldirs from mkinstalldirs.sh
very similarly as acmkdir from acmkdir.sh. BUT when tried to
run 'reconf' or 'configure', they complained too about the
missing '/config' dir. is this a bug? the directory was left
out accidentally or intentionally?
the patch i attach assumes that the '/config' dir is
present. otherwise, i may send another patch for
src/acmkdir/Makefile.am that generates mkinstalldirs from
mkinstalldirs.sh. (what about the other files in ./config?)
