[opensuse-packaging] Where to add the --add-missing option for automake? In configure.ac?
All, I am working with the GEBC source and updating some of the autoconf/automake files. Generating the files, I need to run automake --add-missing after autoconf to generate the missing ./compile file. I'd like to simply move the --add-missing option into the configure.ac file (or similar) to avoid having the separate call to automake. Current the only automake call in configure.ac is: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(gebc,1.07) Where can I add the option so that autoconf generates any of the missing files needed? The automake documentation describes AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR as being able to specify the default directory for the common files as described: https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/automake-Invocation.h... https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Optional.html#Optiona... But I'm still confused on whether and what I need to add to make this happen? (I'm in no way an autotools expert). Anybody see an easy fix here? -- David C.

The upstream itself should do this and add the files to repository. However what we usually do is; autoreconf -fi which is will run autoconf and add the missing files in one call.

Not necessarily to the repository, but surely to the release tarball.

Thank you Ismail, That will work. I'll pass it along upstream as well. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
