Hi block developers,
I’ve some questions regarding block development. First of all, what I
did was
take the gr-howto-write-xxx package, chuck out anything that was
howto-specific and replace it with my own code. Is this how everone else
goes
along?
Next, I realized that if I don’t want to call my module ‘howto’ I need
to edit
configure.ac. Here is what I guessed:
AC_INIT
AC_PREREQ(2.57)
AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([src/lib/howto.i])
AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)
AC_CANONICAL_TARGET([])
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(gr-howto-write-a-block,3.1.1)
Changing AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR to the source of my i-files and putting in the
directory name of my block in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE seemed to work, after
re-running ./bootstrap.
This all seems to work, but I’d like to know if I’ve missed anything
else
which is usually changed (but not in the docs for howto-write-a-block)?
I apologize if this all seems trivial, but it caused some confusion for
me
(e.g., I wasn’t able to run `make check’ without installing my modules
at
first, before I had the configure.ac settings right). I wouldn’t mind
righting some lines for the howto-write-a-block docs if anyone else
feels
this is worth mentioning to autoconf and automake newbies.
