[Plplot-devel] Aspirin for autoheadache

[Rafael L. <lab...@ps...>]

I asked the question about unwanted calls to autoheader in the automake
mailing list (aut...@gn...) and immediately somebody came with the
solution.

I prepared a patch (attached below) that should fix our problems and that
keeps the separation of #defines between plConfig.h and plDevs.h as wished
by Maurice.  The patch is very small and changes the following files:

1) configure.ac:
   
   Defined AUTOHEADER="echo autoheader ignored".  This is the magical thing,
   which gets propagated into the Makefile.in.  With this, autoheader is
   never called when running make, not even by the developpers.

   Also, I changed the deprecated AM_CONFIG_HEADER to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS.
   
2) bootstrap.sh:

   Removed calls to "touch include/plConfig.h.in" and "autoheader".

3) include/plConfig.h.in:

   Removed all #undef PLD_*. since they are already in plDevs.h.in.

I also strongly advise to remove that old acconfig.h from the CVS
repository.
