README for LyX configure stuff
Author: Jean-Marc Lasgouttes (Jean-Marc.Lasgouttes@inria.fr)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This directory contains the things used to build the configure
scripts. The file present here are the following:
makefile a simple makefile to build configure script
acconfig.h template file describing src/config.h.in
aclocal.m4 local macros for configure.in
configure.in the template from which configure is built
lib_configure.m4 the template from which lib/configure is built
install-sh shell script used when no good install program
is found
mkinstalldirs shell script used to create installation dirs.
stamp-h.in file used by Makefile to check dependencies
hack-gcc a shell script to work around possible gcc bugs
How to use the makefile
-----------------------
When you make a modification to some configure component, just type
'make', with the config/ directory being current. This will create
configure, lib/configure and config.h.in. Do *not* try to run directly
autoconf or autoheader. Note that these scripts require autoconf 2.12
or later.
There is also a target 'clean' which delete backup files, etc.
Note: please do not rename `makefile' to `Makefile'! This name was
chosen in order avoid being excluded from LyX patches...
