copied!<p>The <code>configure</code> file is generated through autoconf from a <code>configure.ac</code> file. Here's my minimal template for <code>configure.ac</code> with C++:</p> <pre><code>dnl Minimal autoconf version supported. 2.60 is quite a good bias. AC_PREREQ([2.60]) dnl Set program name and version. It will be used in output, dnl and then passed to program as #define PACKAGE_NAME and PACKAGE_VERSION. AC_INIT([program-name], [program-version]) dnl Keep helpers in build-aux/ subdirectory to not leave too much junk. AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([build-aux]) dnl Enable generation of Makefile.in by automake. dnl Minimal automake version: 1.6 (another good bias IMO). dnl foreign = disable GNU rules requiring files like NEWS, README etc. dnl dist-bzip2 = generate .tar.bz2 archives by default (make dist). dnl subdir-objects = keep .o files in subdirectories with source files. AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([1.6 foreign dist-bzip2 subdir-objects]) dnl Enable silent rules if supported (i.e. CC something.o instead of gcc call) m4_ifdef([AM_SILENT_RULES], [AM_SILENT_RULES]) dnl Find a good C++ compiler. AC_PROG_CXX dnl Write #defines to config.h file. dnl You need to generate config.h.in, for example using autoheader. AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([config.h]) dnl Generate Makefile from Makefile.in. AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile]) dnl This generates fore-mentioned files. AC_OUTPUT </code></pre> <p>The <code>dnl</code> lines are comments (explanations) for you, you can remove them from your file.</p> <p>It assumes you are using automake to generate the <code>Makefile</code> as well. If you don't want that, you need to prepare a <code>Makefile.in</code> by hand (and remove the <code>AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE</code> line).</p> <p>The configuration results will be written to <code>config.h</code>. You usually include it like:</p> <pre><code>#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H # include "config.h" #endif </code></pre> <p>And my template for <code>Makefile.am</code> (which is used by automake):</p> <pre><code># Programs which will be compiled and installed to /usr/bin (or similar). bin_PROGRAMS = myprogram # Source files for program 'myprogram'. myprogram_SOURCES = src/f1.cxx src/f2.cxx # Linked libraries for program 'myprogram'. myprogram_LDADD = -llib1 -llib2 </code></pre> <p>After creating those two templates, you usually run <code>autoreconf -vi</code> rather than random tools yourself. This is going to guess what you need and run it.</p> <p>Feel free to let you know if you need something more, I'll be happy to explain.</p>
