[Perfparse-devel] ncurses/autotools (was : Feature request)

[Yves M. <yme...@fr...>]

Hi !

Back from holidays. I may be late, but better late than never :)

Yes, I'm familiar with autoconf. But I have no more time to spend on perfparse :(

Anyway, check this :
http://people.ubuntu.com/~mvo/bzr/synaptic/synaptic--main/macros/curses.m4 Note1 :
editing the acconfig.h is obsolete. But I don't remember the new way of doing things.
It's something to add in configure.ac, but I don't remember the macro name. Maybe this
is useless in simple cases like in perfparse ?

Note2 : check if linux systems don't already have a standard curses.m4 file.

In short :
1/ add the curses.m4 file into the m4/ directory
2/ add the following to configure.ac :

AC_CHECK_CURSES

3/ remove the other lines about ncurses in configure.ac
4/ edit the Makefile.am files
5/ Then run the following :
$ aclocal -I m4
$ autoconf
$ autoheader
$ automake
$ ./configure --with-ncursesdir=/usr/local

Don't forget to add m4/curses.m4 to the cvs repository ! :)

I hope this helps.
If you have any question, just ask :)

CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/ncurses" LDFLAGS="-liconv" ./configure ... removes the
"ncurses.h not found" error, but raises another linker error. I'm investigating it later.
