# SYNOPSIS
|
|
#
|
|
# AX_EXTEND_SRCDIR
|
|
#
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
#
|
|
# The AX_EXTEND_SRCDIR macro extends $srcdir by one path component.
|
|
#
|
|
# As an example, when working in /home/michael/i3-4.12/build and calling
|
|
# ../configure, your $srcdir is "..". After calling AX_EXTEND_SRCDIR,
|
|
# $srcdir will be set to "../../i3-4.12".
|
|
#
|
|
# The result of extending $srcdir is that filenames (e.g. in the output of
|
|
# the "backtrace" gdb command) will include one more path component of the
|
|
# absolute source path. The additional path component makes it easy for
|
|
# users to recognize which files belong to the PACKAGE, and -- provided a
|
|
# dist tarball was unpacked -- which version of PACKAGE was used.
|
|
#
|
|
# As an example, in "backtrace", you will see:
|
|
#
|
|
# #0 main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffff1fc8) at ../../i3-4.12/src/main.c:187
|
|
#
|
|
# instead of:
|
|
#
|
|
# #0 main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffff1fc8) at ../src/main.c:187
|
|
#
|
|
# In case your code uses the __FILE__ preprocessor directive to refer to
|
|
# the filename of the current source file (e.g. in debug messages), using
|
|
# the extended path might be undesirable. For this purpose,
|
|
# AX_EXTEND_SRCDIR defines the output variable AX_EXTEND_SRCDIR_CPPFLAGS,
|
|
# which can be added to AM_CPPFLAGS in Makefile.am in order to define the
|
|
# preprocessor directive STRIPPED__FILE__. As an example, when compiling
|
|
# the file "../../i3-4.12/src/main.c", STRIPPED__FILE__ evaluates to
|
|
# "main.c".
|
|
#
|
|
# There are some caveats: When $srcdir is "." (i.e. when ./configure was
|
|
# called instead of ../configure in a separate build directory),
|
|
# AX_EXTEND_SRCDIR will still extend $srcdir, but the intended effect will
|
|
# not be achieved because of the way automake specifies file paths:
|
|
# automake defines COMPILE to use "`test -f '$source' || echo
|
|
# '\$(srcdir)/'`$source" in order to prefer files in the current directory
|
|
# over specifying $srcdir explicitly.
|
|
#
|
|
# The AX_EXTEND_SRCDIR author is not aware of any way to influence this
|
|
# automake behavior. Patches very welcome.
|
|
#
|
|
# To work around this issue, you can use AX_ENABLE_BUILDDIR i.e. by adding
|
|
# the following code to configure.ac:
|
|
#
|
|
# AX_ENABLE_BUILDDIR
|
|
# dnl ...
|
|
# AX_EXTEND_SRCDIR
|
|
#
|
|
# Then also add this bit to Makefile.am (if you wish to use
|
|
# STRIPPED__FILE__ in your code):
|
|
#
|
|
# AM_CPPFLAGS = @AX_EXTEND_SRCDIR_CPPFLAGS@
