Re: Large project support

[Boehne, Robert]

Timo,

After reading this thread it didn't look like anyone answered
your second question, "has anyone wrote a script..."
Depending on your directory layout it could be as simple as:

echo "foo_SOURCES = \ " >> Makefile.am   ## and whatever else...
find ./ -name \*.c -print | sed 's%\./%%' | sed 's/$/ \\/' >>
Makefile.am

For the Open CASCADE project
http://sourceforge.net/projects/autoopencas/
The script was a bit more complicated.  This project consists of about
50 rather large C++ shred libraries, and in fact, is the first project
I autoconf-iscated, automake-abled, and libtool-ized.  There is
somthing
like 180 Megabytes of source, so I'd say it qualifies as a large
project. ;)
This script will not work for your project, but it may illustrate
how to write one that will.  As a last note, you will need to learn
bourne shell to make much use of Automake/Autoconf/Libtool, so go
ahead and jump in.

HTH,

Robert
