autotools


my project has many sources which logically split into directories. Each subdirectiry has common headers needed for others part and its own. How should I compile its project using autotools????
As I understandd I should for all subdirs create static library and lately all of them link to the main program where I decide to create main-func, is it right?
Or how to orginize project structutre in the most convinience way??

thanks a lot.

What you are describing, is what 'makefiles' and the utility 'make' are for - keeping track of separate code directories or libraries, and their dependencies.

If you want to use gnu make, take a look at the documentation here:
http://sourceware.org/autobook/autob..._18.html#SEC18

Or pick up any book or online tutorial describing how to use make, and it will show you what to do. Basically you specify a series of 'targets' each directory could be one target, then you need to specify which other targets need to be built first, the dependencies... Depending on how many code files you have, it can get very complicated. Good luck!
