Modify Makefile.am in howto/src/lib/ to support templates

GNU Radio

I was wondering if someone can slightly modify the Makefile.am in
howto/src/lib to include support for template expansion,
assuming the files generate_all.py and generate_common.py
(and maybe build_utils_codes.py, build_utils.py)
are present (in a similar way that is done in core/src/lib/general).

Right now, and since I have no idea how to do this,
I am manually running generate_all.py and then
manually adding the generated files into Makefile.am…

Thanks

Hi Achilleas,

I’d rather not add additional complexity to the howto Makefile.am.
Most folks have trouble enough understanding what’s going on without
adding support for machine generated code.

If I were to add it, I’d do it exactly as it is done in
gnuradio-core/src/lib/{general,filter}

Redirecting your question, is there something in particular that you
don’t understand about src/lib/{general,filter}/Makefile.am?

This is the actual make rule that runs the code generator:

$(GENERATED_H) $(GENERATED_I) $(GENERATED_CC): $(CODE_GENERATOR)
PYTHONPATH=$(top_srcdir)/src/python srcdir=$(srcdir)
$(srcdir)/generate_all.py

It says that all the generated .h, .i and .cc files are dependent on
everything in $(CODE_GENERATOR), and that if anything in
$(CODE_GENERATOR) is newer than the stuff to the left of the colon, run
generate_all.py to update (generate) them.

CODE_GENERATOR is a list of files that includes the “template files”
.t, and the code generating scripts themselves generate_.py.

Did this help?
