GNU Info (gettext.info)Makefile`Makefile.in' at top level -------------------------- Here are a few modifications you need to make to your main, top-level `Makefile.in' file. 1. 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@ 2. Add file `ABOUT-NLS' to the `DISTFILES' definition, so the file gets distributed. 3. Wherever you process subdirectories in your `Makefile.in', be sure you also process dir subdirectories `intl' and `po'. Special rules in the `Makefiles' 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' in `Makefile.in' for it to be further used in the `dist:' goal. SUBDIRS = doc intl lib src @POSUB@ Note that you must arrange for `make' to descend into the `intl' directory before descending into other directories containing code which make use of the `libintl.h' header file. For this reason, here we mention `intl' before `lib' and `src'. that you will have to adapt to your own package. 4. A delicate point is the `dist:' goal, as both `intl/Makefile' and `po/Makefile' will later assume that the proper directory has been set up from the main `Makefile'. 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) automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
