使用 automake/autoconf 条件生成文件

问题描述

谁能告诉我是否有办法向 Makefile.am 插入条件块，以便将其进一步传递给由 autotools 创建的 Makfile?

can anybody tell me if there is a way to insert a conditional block to Makefile.am so that it will be passed further to a Makfile created by autotools?

这是一个例子:

ifeq "$(SOMEVAR)" ""
SOMEVAR="default_value"
endif

这似乎是 Makefile 做有条件的事情的常用方法.Automake 会切断 endif 行并最终导致失败，并显示如下消息:

This seems to be a usual Makefile way of doing conditional things. Automake cuts endif line off and make fails eventually with a message like this:

Makefile:390: * 缺少 `endif'.停下来.

Makefile:390: * missing `endif'. Stop.

有什么想法吗?

推荐答案

由于它也被标记为 Autoconf，如果可能的话，我建议将条件放在 configure.ac 中.类似这样:

Since it's tagged as Autoconf also, I suggest putting the condition in configure.ac, if that is possible. Similar to so:

AM_CONDITIONAL([CONDITION_NAME], [test x"${SOMEVAR}" != x])

然后，您的 Makefile.am 将包含

Then, your Makefile.am would contain

if CONDITION_NAME
<conditional code>
else
<else :)>
endif

更新

问题与

python setup.py --root=$(DESTDIR) --prefix=$(DESTDIR)$(prefix)

从某个地方被调用.如果 DESTDIR 为空，则前缀可能会扩展为相对路径，这不是您想要的.您已确认它是从您的 Makefile.am 调用的.那么你可以做两件事.

being called from somewhere. If DESTDIR is empty, the prefix may expand to a relative path, which is not what you want. You have confirmed it is being called from your Makefile.am. Then there's two things you can do.

1. 将上述命令改为python setup.py --root=${DESTDIR}///--prefix=${DESTDIR}///$(prefix).三斜线可能是必要的，因为 AFAIK，POSIX 允许双斜线具有特殊含义，但不允许三个或更多连续斜线.

1. Change the above command to python setup.py --root=${DESTDIR}/// --prefix=${DESTDIR}///$(prefix). Triple slashes may be necessary since, AFAIK, POSIX allows for double slashes to have a special meaning, but not for three or more consecutive slashes.

把上面的命令改成DESTDIR=${DESTDIR:-//
