Hi Ronald,
I am interested in releasing cgdb-0.4.0. I am ready to look at applying
the patch above.
The problem is, I wrote the Makefile.am's without really knowing
anything about autoconf/automake. I am seeing that you basically changed
top_srcdir with top_builddir. What's the difference? From the autoconf
page I see
top_srcdir: The relative path to the top-level source code directory for
the package.
top_builddir: The relative path to the top-level of the current build
tree.
I don't really know how this relates to cgdb or why you changed it.
I noticed that you also changed the noinst_bin_PROGRAMS and
noinst_bindir to noinst_PROGRAMS. This doesn't work so well for me since
programs no longer install into the cgdb/progs directory. What would you
recommend for this?
I applied your patch, and it builds in the tree properly. What is the
command that you were using to build out of the tree? I would like to
make sure they both work before I commit the patch.
Thanks,
Bob Rossi
