Hi,
I decided to work around the problem and wrote my own Makefiles. These now
collaborate nicely with PTP synchronized projects. After all.
* configure on the remote (AIX) host wouldn't work without dirty tricks anyway
* There were only two Makefiles in total - one of them being trivial
* most of the defines in src/config.h were not used in the code
But I intend to give an Eclipse PTP course in about a month, and I know that a
couple of GNU autotool fans are among the audience. Thus, the answer "dump
that autotools stuff, it doesn't work anyway" might work for me in private, but
not in the course.
Therefore I would still be interested in the answer to my original GNU
autotools questions.
Also, when I set up an GNU autotools project, there were reconfigure and
autotools menu entries in the project menu (=right mouse click in the Project
Explorer). Apparently, they didn't allow for command line parameters to any of
these tools. For instance, in the current project, the README requests any
user to run a script called "bootstrap" which reads like this.
cp@sirius:~/bench/IO_bench/ior$ cat bootstrap
#!/bin/sh
set -x
aclocal -I config || exit 1
#libtoolize --automake --copy --force || exit 1
autoheader || exit 1
automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing --foreign || exit 1
#autoconf --force --warnings=all || exit 1
autoconf --force || exit 1
rm -fr autom4te*.cache
exit 0
As anyone can see, there are quite a few command line parameter to automake
and autoconf. Also it might be nice to amend the menu list for autotools by
some custom script option, which would allow the user to run e.g. this
bootstrap script - on the local or the the remote host, depending on the
active build configuration.
