This one has to be quick folks. The family needs my support this evening ;)<\/p>\n
In the last episode, we created a simple configure.ac and defined a variable, CSC. We didn’t change the Makefile other than re-naming it to Makefile.am. In this article, we’ll simply show how to consume the variable which was defined in configure.ac.<\/p>\n
$<\/b> .\/Greeting.exe ––number 9 That’s all I’ve got time for right now. Zelda’s crying for daddy!<\/p>\n\n$<\/b> cd ~\/src\/greeting<\/code><\/p>\nAlter Makefile.am to use the C# compiler defined in configure.ac<\/h3>\n
$<\/b> sed -e 's\/gmcs\/\\$\\(CSC\\)\/' Makefile.am
\n$<\/b> cat Makefile.am
\n# the first target is the one executed when no target is named
\nall: Greeting.exe
\n#don't do anything
\n
\n# running 'make clean' will execute this target
\nclean:
\n rm Greeting.exe
\n
\n# running 'make Greeting.exe' will execute this target
\nGreeting.exe: Greeting.cs NDesk.Options.cs
\n# the same as $(CSC) -out:Greeting.exe Greeting.cs
\n $(CSC) -out:$@ $^
\n<\/code><\/p>\nProve that it didn’t break things<\/h3>\n
\n$<\/b> automake && .\/configure
\n$<\/b> make clean
