[htdig-dev] Autotools and macros

[Gabriele B. <an...@ti...>]

Ciao guys,

   by playing around a bit with autotools I came up with some questions.
Foreword: everytime I have to use autotools it is such a pain the **** fo=
r
me! :-)

   I have used new autotools with ht://Check and they work fine for me;
it's just that before putting on ht://Dig I just wanna be sure of what I
am doing (portability is much more important and hard here!).

   There are two things I basically found, apart from the actual versions=

we use; here they are:

1) AC_LIBOBJ vs. LIBOBJS
In configure.in, when trying to run configure, I got a warning aimed to
inform me about a new feature: I modify the code as follows:

168c168
<    [AC_MSG_RESULT(yes);LIBOBJS=3D"$LIBOBJS regex.${ac_objext}"],
---
>    [AC_MSG_RESULT(yes);AC_LIBOBJ([regex])],
174,175d173
< LTLIBOBJS=3D`echo "$LIBOBJS" | sed 's/\.o/.lo/g'`
< AC_SUBST(LTLIBOBJS)

2) CHECK_SSL
I have seen this macro to be defined as part of the ac-archive, and put
by Geoff in the aclocal.m4 almost one year ago. Can we move it into acinc=
lude.m4
so, everytime we run aclocal, it is automatically included into aclocal.m=
4?

Well ... for now I think it is enough. Please let me know what you think!=

;-)

Ciao ciao
