Re: [AD] m4 macro for allegro

[ Thread Index | Date Index | More lists.liballeg.org/allegro-developers Archives ]


Just wanted to bump this becuase I think it belongs in the library package. Anyone have any objections?

I have finally written an m4 macro for Allegro. I dont believe an m4 macro exists already..

Its use is pretty simple: allegro.m4 needs to be in the /usr/share/aclocal or /usr/local/share/aclocal directory and then in configure.in the user calls
AM_PATH_ALLEGRO( MAJOR.MINOR.MICRO )

where major.minor.micro are 4.1.0 or 4.0.3, you get the picture.

The macro will set allegro_LIBS and allegro_CFLAGS which can then be used in Makefile.am or Makefile.in, but im not sure about Makefile, as ${allegro_LIBS}. e.g:
LIBS=-lm -lsomelibrary ${allegro_LIBS}

I have not thouroughly tested the m4 macro nor know right now how to add it to the distrobution so it gets copied into the proper directory upon installation. Hopefully someone else can help with that :).

One final note, I started with the libxml.m4 macro and hacked it up until it became what it is now.
later--,
