[wxCode-users] New autoconf build support

[Francesco M. <f18...@ya...>]

Hi all,

    I would like to inform everyone that I finally managed to create a good way to support 
"autoconf" format, too with wxCode bakefiles.
The new configure.ac for a wxCode component looks like:


AC_INIT([wxXml2], [1.5], [fr...@so...])
m4_include(../../../build/bakefiles/wxcode.m4)
AM_WXCODE_INIT
AM_OPTIONS_WXCONFIG
AM_OPTIONS_WXPRESETS
AM_WXCODE_CHECKS([2.4.0])       # 2.4.0 is the minimum required version of wx
AM_WXCODE_END


(see wxcode/build/bakefiles/configure.ac for more info).
I've updated wxcode/build/bakefiles/readme.txt with a lot of details it was missing before.

Also, the new Bakefiles.bkgen file tells bakefile to put "Makefile.in" in the root folder 
of your component so that a typical components will have the following makefiles:

          build\makefile.vc       for MSVC (nmake)
          build\makefile.gcc      for Mingw (mingw32-make)
          build\makefile.wat      for Watcom (wmake)
          build\makefile.bcc      for Borland (make)

          Makefile.in   used by configure script to provide the "Makefile" under Unix
          configure     configures the Makefile.in doing the right substitutions and 
creates "Makefile"

which is much more in "unix" style. I found the way to keep all other unix stuff 
(config.sub, config.guess, *.m4, etc) in build\ which is much more clean than having these 
files in the root folder.

I took the freedom to update all the Bakefiles.bkgen files of the components.
If you need help with your component bakefiles, please ask NOW until I have some free time ;)
