= Using Antimake with autoconf =


Autoconf setup

.File: autogen.sh
[source,shell]
-----------------------------------
../../std-autogen.sh ../../..

# fetch Antimake template from libusual
cp ../../antimake.mk antimake.mk.in
-----------------------------------
.File: configure.ac
[source,autoconf]
-----------------------------------
AC_INIT([actest], [0.1])
AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([prog.c])
AC_PREREQ([2.59])

AC_USUAL_INIT
AC_USUAL_PROGRAM_CHECK

AC_OUTPUT([antimake.mk])
-----------------------------------

Here is the source we want to build:

.File: prog.c
[source,c]
-----------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void)
{
	printf("hello\n");
	return 0;
}
-----------------------------------

Antimake based Makefile

.File: Makefile
[source,makefile]
-----------------------------------
# the automake-style build description for 'prog'
noinst_PROGRAMS = prog
prog_SOURCES = prog.c

EXTRA_DIST = Makefile $(MAINTAINERCLEANFILES)

# clean configured files
DISTCLEANFILES = config.status config.log antimake.mk

# clean generated files
MAINTAINERCLEANFILES = configure config.guess config.sub install-sh antimake.mk.in

# launch Antimake
include antimake.mk
-----------------------------------

Build the project

---------------------------------
$ sh ./autogen.sh
[...]
$ ./configure
[...]
$ make
     CC       prog.c
     CCLD     prog
$ ls
Makefile	autogen.sh    config.status  configure.ac  prog.c
antimake.mk	config.guess  config.sub     install-sh
antimake.mk.in	config.log    configure      prog
$ ./prog
hello
---------------------------------

Create distribution package

---------------------------------
$ make dist
     CHECK    dist-gzip
     MKDIR    actest-0.1
     COPY     actest-0.1
     PACK     actest-0.1.tar.gz
$ tar tzf actest-0.1.tar.gz | sort
actest-0.1/
actest-0.1/Makefile
actest-0.1/antimake.mk.in
actest-0.1/config.guess
actest-0.1/config.sub
actest-0.1/configure
actest-0.1/install-sh
actest-0.1/prog.c
---------------------------------

Test the distribution package and separate build dir

---------------------------------
$ mkdir -p test
$ cd test
$ tar xf ../actest-0.1.tar.gz
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../actest-0.1/configure
[...]
$ make
     CC       ../actest-0.1/prog.c
     CCLD     prog
$ ls
Makefile  antimake.mk  config.log  config.status  prog
$ ./prog
hello
$ cd ../..
---------------------------------

Clean up

---------------------------------
$ make maintainer-clean
     CLEAN    prog
     MAINTAINERCLEAN maintainer-clean
$ ls
Makefile  actest-0.1.tar.gz  autogen.sh  configure.ac  prog.c  test
---------------------------------

Done
