I have to make friends with the basics before I can hope to make friends with the automagic things.

But the basics are rather simple. - Create a configure.ac by running autoscan and renaming the resulting configure.scan. - Edit configure scan as needed. - Create a Makefile.am, which is much easier than creating a Makefile on your own. In ist simplest form it contains: bin_PROGRAMS = foo foo_SOURCERS = foo.h foo.c Now run configure 'autoreconf -fi' which will run all tools and copy all needed files needed to create (and run) configure and Makefile.in. Now run configure and then make as you do with other packages. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
