1. 我的理解
./configure: 确保接下来的make以及make install所依赖的文件没有问题
make: build编译连接生成可执行程序
make install: 将编译好的可执行程序以及文档copy到对应的系统目录
2. 那么如何制作configure文件以及Makefile呢
1) Prepararation
main.c,
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
printf("Hello world\n");
return ;
}
configure.ac
AC_INIT([helloworld],[0.1],[[email protected]])
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
AC_PROG_CC
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])
AC_OUTPUT
Makefile.in
AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS=foreign
bin_PROGRAMS = helloworld
helloworld_SOURCES = main.c
2) Tools:
aclocal ------------------> set up an m4 environment
autoconf ------------------> generate configure from configue.ac
automake --add-mising ------> generate Makefile.in from Makefile.am
./configue -----------------> generate Makefile from Makefile.in
make distcheck -------------> use Makefile to build and test a tarball to distribute
3. Overview
./configure # generate Makefile from Makefile.in
make # use Makefile to build the program
make install # use Makefile to install the program
