dear c-programmers of the linux-community,
my problem is a small step for mankind but a big step for me:
I'd like to compile a c program. the code is distributed over several files.
"at work" (using sun or aix) I am used to type 'mkmf' in the directory where the code is located to get the proper makefile from a template. then typing "make" is sufficient to compile the program.
is there anything similar for linux ? I read about the automake, but therefore you have to make configure files and other more difficult things than typing 'mkmf'.
Well there are Imakefiles, and a thing called "xmkmf"; I really don't know alot about it, but supposedly it does what you want, (I think). The package xanim uses it to automate the generation of a makefile, but I had to use plain old make to compile. -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
