NAME
autotools.eclass - Regenerates auto* build scriptsDESCRIPTION
This eclass is for safely handling autotooled software packages that need to regenerate their build scripts. All functions will abort in case of errors.SUPPORTED EAPIS
7 8FUNCTIONS
- eautoreconf
-
This function mimes the behavior of autoreconf, but uses the different
eauto* functions to run the tools. It doesn't accept parameters, but
the directory with include files can be specified with AT_M4DIR variable.
Should do a full autoreconf - normally what most people will be interested in. Also should handle additional directories specified by AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS.
- eaclocal_amflags
- Extract the ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS value from the Makefile.am and try to handle (most) of the crazy crap that people throw at us.
- eaclocal
- These functions runs the autotools using autotools_run_tool with the specified parameters. The name of the tool run is the same of the function without e prefix. They also force installing the support files for safety. Respects AT_M4DIR for additional directories to search for macros.
- _elibtoolize
-
Runs libtoolize.
Note the '_' prefix: avoid collision with elibtoolize() from libtool.eclass.
- eautoheader
- Runs autoheader.
- eautoconf
- Runs autoconf.
- eautomake
- Runs automake.
- eautopoint
- Runs autopoint (from the gettext package).
- config_rpath_update [destination]
- Some packages utilize the config.rpath helper script, but don't use gettext directly. So we have to copy it in manually since we can't let `autopoint` do it for us.
ECLASS VARIABLES
- WANT_AUTOCONF ?= latest (SET BEFORE INHERIT)
- The major version of autoconf your package needs
- WANT_AUTOMAKE ?= latest (SET BEFORE INHERIT)
- The major version of automake your package needs
- WANT_LIBTOOL ?= latest (SET BEFORE INHERIT)
- Do you want libtool? Valid values here are "latest" and "none".
- AUTOTOOLS_DEPEND = " (GENERATED BY ECLASS)
- Contains the combination of requested automake/autoconf/libtool versions in *DEPEND format.
- AUTOTOOLS_AUTO_DEPEND ?= yes (SET BEFORE INHERIT)
- Set to 'no' to disable automatically adding to DEPEND. This lets ebuilds form conditional depends by using ${AUTOTOOLS_DEPEND} in their own DEPEND string.
- AM_OPTS
- Additional options to pass to automake during eautoreconf call.
- AT_NOEAUTOHEADER
- Don't run eautoheader command if set to 'yes'; only used to work around packages that don't want their headers being modified.
- AT_NOEAUTOMAKE
- Don't run eautomake command if set to 'yes'; only used to workaround broken packages. Generally you should, instead, fix the package to not call AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE if it doesn't actually use automake.
- AT_NOELIBTOOLIZE
- Don't run elibtoolize command if set to 'yes', useful when elibtoolize needs to be ran with particular options
- AT_M4DIR
- Additional director(y|ies) aclocal should search
