Re: [automake] Dependency question with _LDADD

[Michel Briand]

Hi all,

I implemented a new idea for program's version.

In src/bin/Makefile.am:

internal_version.c: ${top_srcdir}/PROGRAM_VERSION
        ${top_srcdir}/vtempl.pl $(component) $(VERSION) < $(templ) > $@

training_SOURCES = training.c internal_version.c

The vtempl.pl Perl program takes a template as input and filter it to
produce the internal_version.c source file.

Each time the PROGRAM_VERSION file will be changed, the new source file
will be regenerated, then the build system will recompile it, and
relink the program.

Comments are welcome.

Best regards,

Michel
