Re: [ptp-user] Issue with synchronized Autotools project

[Markus Geimer <m.geimer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Are there any restrictions on the commands that can be used
for configure/autogen ("Autotools > Configure Settings" in
the project preferences)?

To (hopefully only temporarily) work around this limitation,
I was thinking of specifying something like

   module purge && module load intel openmpi && configure

as the configure command (likewise for autogen).  I know that
this is rather hackish and crying for inconsistencies as one
has to keep the modules consistent in three places (configure,
autogen, synchronize settings), but I'd really like to get
this setup to work.

If you have any alternative suggestions -- or believe that
I messed something up when configuring my project -- please
let me know.

Thanks,
Markus


PS:  This may be more CDT-related, but may I suggest to also
detect 'bootstrap' scripts as an alternative to 'autogen.sh'?
This convention has been adopted by many projects and is also
recommended by the Goat book (see
https://www.sourceware.org/autobook/autobook/autobook_43.html).
Admittedly not the freshest source of information, but still
valuable...
