使用autotools

autotools (autoconf, automake)能自动创建用来编译代码的各种文件(configure, makefile). 有了它，我们就不需要手动写makefile了，也不用在环境变化的时候，手动的去调整makefile. 这一切autotools可以完成。

下面以一个例子来说说明。

1. C代码。下面是一个EFL的简单程序，需要先安装好 EFL的各种库。

#include <Elementary.h>
static void
on_done(void *data, Evas_Object *obj, void *event_info)
{
   // quit the mainloop (elm_run function will return)
   elm_exit();
}
EAPI_MAIN int
elm_main(int argc, char **argv)
{
   Evas_Object *win, *box, *lab, *btn;
   // new window - do the usual and give it a name (hello) and title (Hello)
   win = elm_win_util_standard_add("hello", "Hello");
   // when the user clicks "close" on a window there is a request to delete
   evas_object_smart_callback_add(win, "delete,request", on_done, NULL);
   // add a box object - default is vertical. a box holds children in a row,
   // either horizontally or vertically. nothing more.
   box = elm_box_add(win);
   // make the box horizontal
   elm_box_horizontal_set(box, EINA_TRUE);
   // add object as a resize object for the window (controls window minimum
   // size as well as gets resized if window is resized)
   elm_win_resize_object_add(win, box);
   evas_object_show(box);
   // add a label widget, set the text and put it in the pad frame
   lab = elm_label_add(win);
   // set default text of the label
   elm_object_text_set(lab, "Hello out there world!");
   // pack the label at the end of the box
   elm_box_pack_end(box, lab);
   evas_object_show(lab);
   // add an ok button
   btn = elm_button_add(win);
   // set default text of button to "OK"
   elm_object_text_set(btn, "OK");
   // pack the button at the end of the box
   elm_box_pack_end(box, btn);
   evas_object_show(btn);
   // call on_done when button is clicked
   evas_object_smart_callback_add(btn, "clicked", on_done, NULL);
   // now we are done, show the window
   evas_object_show(win);
   // run the mainloop and process events and callbacks
   elm_run();
   return 0;
}
ELM_MAIN()

2. configure.ac

这是 autoconf 输入文件，因此有人也写为 configure.in(一推荐不要这样命名，因为 make dist-clean 的时候，会执行 rm -rf *.in，导致被误删）.

这个文件里面通常做一些测试，比如，检查某些函数或者文件是否存在。比如，如果要检查函数 gettimeofday() 是否存在，可以用：

AC_CHECK_FUNCS(gettimeofday)。

下面是这个例子的文件内容：

AC_INIT(myapp, 0.0.0, myname@mydomain.com)
AC_PREREQ(2.52)
AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR(configure.ac)
AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)
AC_PROG_CCsuo
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(1.6 dist-bzip2)
PKG_CHECK_MODULES([ELEMENTARY], elementary)
AC_OUTPUT(Makefile)

解释如下：

AC_INIT: autoconf 的一个宏，三个参数分别为：包的名字，版本，和联系邮件

AC_PREREQ: 确保 autoconf的版本至少为 version. 如果不满足条件，就报错

AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR: 这个宏用来检查参数表示的文件确实在代码目录下存在

AM_CONFIG_HEADER：这个宏定义了一个头文件(config.h)，里面通常是一些预编译的宏。

这个文件的输入文件是 config.h.in。因此，有时候也这样写：

AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h:config.in)

AC_PROG_CC：定义C编译器。如果CC还没定义，就查找gcc, cc, 然后是其它的编译器，然后把CC 环境变量定义为找到的那个编译器。
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE: 后面可以跟很多参数。在这里, 1.6表示automake版本至少要是1.6, dist-bzip2表示创建一个bzip2压缩格式的目标文件。
如果执行 make dist,就会生成这样的包。
PKG_CHECK_MODULES: 完整的格式如下：

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(prefix, list-of-modules, action-if-found, action-if-not-found)

prefix是用来作为那些保存有编译选项和库信息的变量的前缀。比如，就这个例子，ELEMENTART_CFLAGS, ELEMENTARY_LIBS
第二个参数为要检查是否存在的模块。

后面两个参数一般不需要写。

AC_OUTPUT:每个 autoconf 脚本都要以这个宏结束。它创建一个config.status并且运行它。这个宏后面跟的参数也是要被创建的文件。

3. Makefile.am

这是 automake的输入文件。它和makefile的语法是一样的。automake会把 makefile.am 转换成 makefile.in.

AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = 1.4 foreign
MAINTAINERCLEANFILES = Makefile.in aclocal.m4 config.h.in configure depcomp install-sh missing
INCLUDES = -I$(top_srcdir)
bin_PROGRAMS = myapp
myapp_SOURCES = main.c
myapp_LDADD = @ELEMENTARY_LIBS@
myapp_CFLAGS = @ELEMENTARY_CFLAGS@

解释如下：

AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS： automake的选项。 1.4表示版本至少要为1.4, foreign表示这个 package不遵循GNU的标准。标准GNU包会发布一些

额外的文件，比如，ChangeLog, AUTHORS。选择了foreign之后，即使没有这些文件，automake也不会警告。

MAINTAINERCLEANFILES

是一个make承认的变量，它保存了可以被删除的一些中间文件。比如，执行下面的命令

make maintainer-clean

这个变量指示的文件就被删除。

top_srcdir:用在#include里面，表示项目所在的最顶端目录(top-most directory).

automake会把#include 展开到makefile.in里面。

bin_PROGRAMS： _PROGRAMS表示后面的文件是makefile要编译连接出来的。bin表示编出的文件要安装在 bindir目录下

myapp_LDADD和 myapp_CFLAGS表示用到的库和头文件。也可以这样写：

myapp_LDADD = $(ELEMENTARY_LIBS)
myapp_CFLAGS = $(ELEMENTARY_CFLAGS)

4. autogen.sh

#!/bin/sh
 echo "Running aclocal..." ; aclocal $ACLOCAL_FLAGS || exit 1
 echo "Running autoheader..." ; autoheader || exit 1
 echo "Running autoconf..." ; autoconf || exit 1
 echo "Running automake..." ; automake --add-missing --copy --gnu || exit 1
 ./configure "$@"

执行 aclocal 会生成 aclocal.m4 aclocal 是需要执行的，它会收集automake需要用到一些 autoconf的宏（根据当前的configure.ac).

aclocal会扫描 *.m4文件，然后是 configure.ac文件，把所有用到宏（包括间接依赖用到的）放到 aclocal.m4文件里面。

autoheader是为了把编译配置过程中产生的宏定义都放到一个文件里面（AC_CONFIG_HEADER定义的那个对应的输入文件，config.h.in）

autoheader产生 cponfig.h.in, 然后 configure 根据 config.h.in 生成 config.h.

autoconf 根据 configure.ac生成 configure.

automake 根据 makefile.am生成 makefile.in

现在，就可以开始配置和编译了。

首先，确保上面的几个文件已经准备好：

$ ls
autogen.sh  configure.ac  main.c  Makefile.am

然后，执行 autogen.sh:

$ ./autogen.sh 
Running aclocal...
Running autoheader...
Running autoconf...
Running automake...
configure.ac:5: installing './compile'
configure.ac:6: installing './install-sh'
configure.ac:6: installing './missing'

checking for ELEMENTARY... yes
checking that generated files are newer than configure... done
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: executing depfiles commands

可以看到，此时，生成了很多文件：

p$ ls
aclocal.m4      config.h       configure     main.c       missing
autogen.sh      config.h.in    configure.ac  Makefile     stamp-h1
autom4te.cache  config.log     depcomp       Makefile.am
compile         config.status  install-sh    Makefile.in

执行configure:

$ ./configure

checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking for suffix of executables... 
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of object files... o

configure: creating ./config.status

config.status: creating config.h
config.status: config.h is unchanged

执行 make:
