[gentoo-user] [OT] AUTOTOOLS

[Rafael Fernández López]

Hi,

	I'm downloading some KDE apps source code to know how Makefiles.am are 
pointed. I've become surprised because I've seen that for example, amaroK has 
been developed under KDevelop.

	I have been searching a bit and I can't find any QT app that use METASOURCES 
= AUTO, and with its Makefile hand-written (no IDE). I'd like to know if 
there is a way for creating 'acinclude.m4' and Makefile.am automatically by 
console (no KDevelop) if we know that that app will use QT (or KDE libs).

	I have seen that all KDE apps include acinclude.m4 that starts with something 
like "This file is part of the KDE libraries/packages"... But what I could 
see too is that if we create a simple KDE project under KDevelop, my 
configure.in will be VERY SIMILAR to amaroK's configure.in, so I'd like to 
know what console command does KDevelop run to generate it (because I tried 
to search it for, but no results).

	It was strange for me to read this:

	# Original Author was Kalle@×××.org
	# I lifted it in some mater. (Stephan Kulow)
	# I used much code from Janos Farkas

	in my configure.in self-generated by KDevelop. Why an automated script that 
generates configure.in is going to add to every package this kind of 
comments?

	Well, that was my question... is there a way (a console command) to 
auto-generate acinclude.m4 and configure.in? (I suppose that acinclude.m4 
won't change, and I can copy that), but in that case, how can I generate 
configure.in?

Bye and thanks,
Rafael Fernández López.
