[Gltt-devel] Updated packaging files

[Ross G. <ro...@go...>]

I have been looking into adding automake/autoconf support to the OpenGC
project, which uses gltt. I would like to help gltt improve it's
autoconf/automake scripts so that gltt can more easily be built and
installed as a seperate library, with the header files and shared
libraries all layed out in the right place, to make developing
applications that depend on gltt easier.

I have had several problems using the released gltt_2_5.tar.gz file
under RedHat 7.2 without applying some fixes from another OpenGC
developer, plus my own extensions to the acinclude.m4 code for locating
the freetype headers and libraries.

I've attached the patch I've used to get it to build correctly so far,
plus the other files. Some of it is my work, some of it is the work of
others.

The result of including the attached files is that you can do the
following :

$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
(runs aclocal; autoconf; automake etc)
$ make dist
(produces gltt-2.5.1.tar.gz)

For RedHat users:

$ rpm -ta gltt-2.5.1.tar.gz
(produces gltt-2.5.1.*.rpm)

Please let me have your comments.

Also, is there a CVS repository somewhere?
