Question

I’ve trying to create install package for hello world sample C program.

I’ve done following staps.

autoscan

mv configure.scan configure.ac edit configure.ac to add some macros.

aclocal

create Makefile.am within 

bin_PROGRAMS = hello
hello_SOURCES = hello.c

Finally I did automake .

Then I got messages bellow. .

configure.ac:12: error: required file './compile' not found
configure.ac:12:   'automake --add-missing' can install 'compile'
configure.ac:6: error: required file './missing' not found
configure.ac:6:   'automake --add-missing' can install 'missing'
Makefile.am: error: required file './INSTALL' not found
Makefile.am:   'automake --add-missing' can install 'INSTALL'
Makefile.am: error: required file './NEWS' not found
Makefile.am: error: required file './README' not found
Makefile.am: error: required file './AUTHORS' not found
Makefile.am: error: required file './ChangeLog' not found
Makefile.am: error: required file './COPYING' not found
Makefile.am:   'automake --add-missing' can install 'COPYING'
Makefile.am: error: required file './depcomp' not found
Makefile.am:   'automake --add-missing' can install 'depcomp'

There aren’t any strings including compile, missing ,NEW, README or the massage said being required in Makefile.am an configure.ac files.

What should I do?

Those are information about version of some products.

CentOS release 6.4

autocomf-2.69

automake-1.14

m4-1.4

Était-ce utile?

La solution

Those files need to exist to conform to the standard 'automake/autoconf' set of files.

Follow the instructions it gives you: "automake --add-missing", and the missing files will be created with dummy information which you would (in a perfect world) fill in appropriately.

Try perusing the autotools tutorial, or perhaps the autobook. See also StackOverflow: Getting started with autotools.

Additionally, read the man pages, try automake --help, read what the utility helpfully output to assist you?

Autres conseils

Probably adding foreign to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE macro in configure.ac could be helpful in this case.
