13.4.10 Makefile.in
at top level
Here are a few modifications you need to make to your main, top-level
Makefile.in
file.
- Add the following lines near the beginning of your
Makefile.in
, so the ‘dist:
’ goal will work properly (as explained further down):PACKAGE = @PACKAGE@ VERSION = @VERSION@
Wherever you process subdirectories in your
Makefile.in
, be sure you also process the subdirectory ‘po
’. Special rules in theMakefiles
take care for the case where no internationalization is wanted.If you are using Makefiles, either generated by automake, or hand-written so they carefully follow the GNU coding standards, the effected goals for which the new subdirectories must be handled include ‘
installdirs
’, ‘install
’, ‘uninstall
’, ‘clean
’, ‘distclean
’.Here is an example of a canonical order of processing. In this example, we also define
SUBDIRS
inMakefile.in
for it to be further used in the ‘dist:
’ goal.SUBDIRS = doc lib src po
- A delicate point is the ‘
dist:
’ goal, aspo/Makefile
will later assume that the proper directory has been set up from the mainMakefile
. Here is an example at what the ‘dist:
’ goal might look like:distdir = $(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION) dist: Makefile rm -fr $(distdir) mkdir $(distdir) chmod 777 $(distdir) for file in $(DISTFILES); do \ ln $$file $(distdir) 2>/dev/null || cp -p $$file $(distdir); \ done for subdir in $(SUBDIRS); do \ mkdir $(distdir)/$$subdir || exit 1; \ chmod 777 $(distdir)/$$subdir; \ (cd $$subdir && $(MAKE) $@) || exit 1; \ done tar chozf $(distdir).tar.gz $(distdir) rm -fr $(distdir)
Note that if you are using GNU automake
, Makefile.in
is
automatically generated from Makefile.am
, and all needed changes
to Makefile.am
are already made by running ‘gettextize
’.
