This module contains various files needed to bootstrap GNOME modules
built from git. It contains the following components:
1. A common "autogen.sh" script that can be used to configure a
source directory checked out from git.
2. Some commonly used macros (quite a small set these days -- macros
should be packaged with their respective modules).
To make use of the common autogen script, create a stub autogen.sh
script in your module that looks something like this:
---- Cut Here ----
#!/bin/sh
srcdir=`dirname $0`
[ -z "$srcdir" ] && srcdir=.
if [ ! -f "$srcdir/configure.ac" ]; then
echo "$srcdir doesn't look like source directory for $PKG_NAME" >&2
exit 1
fi
which gnome-autogen.sh || {
echo "You need to install gnome-common from GNOME Git"
exit 1
}
. gnome-autogen.sh "$@"
---- Cut Here ----
Then put the following in your configure.ac or configure.in file:
AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])
AC_SUBST([ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS], ["-I $ac_macro_dir \${ACLOCAL_FLAGS}"])
This will make sure that autoconf macros will be found when you
rebuild the package without rerunning autogen.sh.
