This patch addresses a few minor issues and contains a few (minor)
preparations for automake.
* configure.in: Fix for handing c/src/tests subdirectory handling (FIX)
* aclocal/rtems-top.m4:
+ Add TARGET_SUBDIR and --with-target-subdir (preparation of future
enhancements for cross-compiling)
+ Activate RTEMS_ROOT handling (automake preparation)
* automake/*.am: replace comments "#" with "##" so that comments won't
get included into Makefile.in's anymore
* c/update-tools/* automake support (NEW)
* ./autogen update/enhancement (cf. ./autogen for details)
After applying this patch please run:
./autogen
cvs add c/update-tools/configure.in
cvs add c/update-tools/Makefile.am
cvs add c/update-tools/aclocal.m4
Yet some more modifications, I would recommend to be considered before
releasing a snapshot:
1. Cleanup to aclocal/
cvs rm -f aclocal/cygwin.m4
cvs rm -f aclocal/exeext.m4
They are neither used nor needed anymore, however they also don't
disturb (we use autoconf-2.13's AC_EXEEXT instead, now)
----------
2. rtems-rc-19990328-0.diff
Some (minor) bug-fixes:
* make/Templates/Makefile.inc.in: use the new installation directory
($(prefix)/ instead of $(prefix)/rtems/)
* c/src/exec/score/tools/generic/Makefile.am: added line to include local.am
* c/src/exec/score/tools/*/configure.in: added CVS Id header
----------
3. rtems-rc-19990328-1.diff
Enhancements and cleanups to autogen, rtems-polish.sh, configure.in etc.
* autogen: Use the file "VERSION" to detect RTEMS toplevel directory,
extended usage-message, use "find -print"
* c/update-tools/cipolish: New script to beautify configure.in scripts
* c/update-tools/rtems-polish.sh: Use the file "VERSION" to detect RTEMS
toplevel directory, extended usage-message, added variable for perl
scripts' subdirectory, use "find -print", cipolish support, new options
-ac -am -ci.
* aclocal/*.m4, configure.in: moved some AC_SUBST lines to aclocal/*.m4
(reduces size of configure.in
scripts, eases splitting configure.in scripts).
----------
description follows:
Description:
* automake for *all* tool subdirectories (Makefile.am, configure.in etc.)
* autogen now also considers CONFIG_HEADER (generates stamp-h.ins and
config.h.ins)
* c/src/tests/tools/generic/difftest and
c/src/tests/tools/generic/sorttimes generated by configure scripts
* c/update-tools/ampolish, beautifier for Makefile.ams, similar to
acpolish
* rtems-polish.sh added to c/update-tools/ + ampolish support
* New subdirectory ./automake, contains automake -Makefile fragments to
support RTEMS make "debug, debug_install, profile, profile_install" for
native Makefile.ams (== ignore these make targets).
* aclocal/rtems-top.m4's RTEMS_TOP now reads the automake makefile
variable VERSION from RTEMS ./VERSION file.
* ./configure.in uses the macros from aclocal + support for the tools'
configure scripts
Remarks:
* To run rtems-polish.sh, "cd <rtems-source-tree>;
./c/update-tools/rtems-polish.sh"
* AFAIS, now all native subdirectories are converted to automake (Please
drop me a note, if I forgot something).
* Unless you notice something fatal, IMO the time has come for a public
try (== snapshot). I do not intend to send more automake related patches
within, say 2 weeks, to give these patches time to settle and to give me
some time to think on how to continue.
* The patch assumes installation to the new main installation directory
[$(prefix)].
This patch is the most scary of all proposals I've been mailing to you
this week until now.
It consists of 3 parts:
1. a patch
2. a perl script (acpolish)
3. a shell script wrapper to invoke the perl-script.
The perl-script reads in each Makefile.in and modifies them
("polishes/beautifies" them :-).
These modifications are not easy to describe:
Basically, it hard-codes some automake Makefile-variables and rules into
RTEMS autoconf-Makefile.ins (Note: autoconf vs. automake!!) and converts
some settings/variables to configure scripts' requirements (Yes,
plural).
E.g. it adds the automake standard variables $top_builddir and $subdir,
adds dependency rules for automatic re-generation of Makefiles from
Makefile.in, adds support variables for relative paths to multiple
configure scripts etc.
The patch is a one-line patch to enable the support of the new features
added by acpolish.
The shell script is a wrapper which pokes around inside of the source
tree for Makefile.ins and invokes acpolish on all autoconf-Makefile.ins.
acpolish is designed to be able to run several times on the same
Makefile.in and may once become a more general tool to convert RTEMS
Makefile.in to automake. Therefore, I'd like to keep it inside of source
tree. (e.g. as contrib/acpolish or c/update-tools/acpolish). However, it
doesn't make sense to export it outside of RTEMS.
To apply this:
cd <source-tree>
patch -p1 -E < <path-to-patch>/rtems-rc-19990318-1.diff
tar xzvf <path-to>/rtems-rc-polish.tar.gz
./rtems-polish.sh
./autogen
Note: The path contrib/acpolish is hard-coded into rtems-polish.sh, if
you decide to put it in an alternative place, please modify
rtems-polish.sh to reflect this change.
Later:
cvs rm make/rtems.cfg (It isn't used anymore)
cvs add contrib
cvs add contrib/acpolish
cvs commit
I've tested this intensively, but naturally I can't exclude bugs.
Ralf.
PS.: Most probably, this is the last "Towards automake" patch. The next
one probably will be a real automake patch.

Some Makefile.ins depend on gcc by hard-coded gcc-specific compiler
flags:
-g added to CFLAGS /LDFLAGS in
> find . -name Makefile.in -exec grep -l ' \-g' {} \;
./c/src/lib/libbsp/i386/i386ex/startup/Makefile.in
./c/src/lib/libbsp/i386/pc386/tools/Makefile.in
-Wall added CFLAGS in
> find . -name Makefile.in -exec grep -l ' \-Wall' {} \;
./c/src/exec/score/tools/sh/Makefile.in
./c/src/lib/libbsp/i386/pc386/tools/Makefile.in
Both -g and -Wall should not be used in any Makefile.in (Yes, I know,
tools/sh/Makefile.in was written by me :-).
I'd like to propose to remove these flags from the files mentioned
above.
make solaris target buildable.

BSDINSTALL is defined in make/host.cfg.in as
BSDINSTALL=@INSTALL@
@INSTALL@ is generated by autoconf's standard macro AC_PROG_INSTALL, which
is widely used in almost any autoconf/automake configured package. In case
there is really something wrong with it, then it must be considered a bug
in autoconf.
I can see a doubious fragment in AC_PROG_INSTALL, which is used when no
appropriate bsd-install is found.
Finally Ralf saw a problem with the find on solaris which I also saw and
fixed.
* c/src/exec/score/tools/sh - NEW DIRECTORY - contains shgen
Most of it should be self-explanatory. I am a little bit concerned about
host-dependent features (getopt, floating point libraries). This
shouldn't disturb much now, as this tool should be compileable on all
gnu-based hosts and is only applicable for the sh. But in case somebody
complains, we may need to add autoconf checks or even restructurize
parts of rtems (IMO, rtems needs to be restructurized - remember the
"turning rtems upside down" issue).
