#214: Use Automake 1.11's AM_DEFAULT_SOURCE_EXT -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: levill_r | Owner: Olena Team Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Milena | Version: 1.0 Keywords: Make | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Quoting the [http://www.mail-archive.com/automake@gnu.org/msg15022.html announce of Automake 1.11]: {{{ - The default source file extension (.c) can be overridden with AM_DEFAULT_SOURCE_EXT now. }}} Which allows us to replace {{{ bin_PROGRAMS = foo bar baz foo_SOURCES = foo.cc bar_SOURCES = bar.cc baz_SOURCES = baz.cc }}} with {{{ bin_PROGRAMS = foo bar baz AM_DEFAULT_SOURCE_EXT = .cc }}} (Of course, « `AM_DEFAULT_SOURCE_EXT = .cc` » should be factored in some `common.mk` file.) This just rocks if you consider the tons of `*_SOURCES` lines in the zillions of `tests/*/Makefile.am` files. On the downward side, this change requires Automake 1.11, which is not even in Debian unstable as of July 24, 2009. We might want to wait a little bit before requiring this version. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.lrde.org/olena/ticket/214> Olena <http://olena.lrde.epita.fr> Olena, a generic and efficient C++ image processing library.
