Hi,
as some of you have noticed, I made some changes to the GNU APL
build system.
Some of these changes were simplifications of the build system
(some automatically
generated .cc and .hh files like configure_args.cc are
gone for good), while other changes
were needed to support Autoconf VPATH builds. Also all files
generated by ./configure
now stored in the top-level directory so that the subdirectory src
(which is shared by all
VPATH builds) is no longer muddied with ./configure results.
The purpose of VPATH builds is to be able to build several
./configure variants in
parallel. Different VPATH builds are needed to discover build
problems, in particular with
rarely used ./configure variants before these problems are
committed to the savannah
SVN server.
There could still be glitches in the new build structure, so
please keep reporting
them.
SVN 1449.
Best Regards,
Jürgen
