These scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of UNIX-like systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf creates a configuration script for a package from a template file that lists the operating system features that the package can use, in the form of m4 macro calls. Autoconf requires GNU m4. The configuration scripts produced by Autoconf are independent of Autoconf when they are run, so their users do not need to have Autoconf (or GNU m4). The file INSTALL can be distributed with packages that use Autoconf-generated configure scripts and Makefiles that conform to the GNU coding standards. The package's README can just give an overview of the package, where to report bugs, and a pointer to INSTALL for instructions on compilation and installation. This removes the need to maintain many similar sets of installation instructions. The file `acconfig.h' contains short descriptions of the C preprocessor variables that Autoconf can define, suitable for copying into other packages' configuration headers or Makefile.in files. You can use the program `autoheader' to automatically creates a configuration header from a `configure.in', based on the information in `acconfig.h'. Mail suggestions and bug reports for Autoconf to bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu. Please include the Autoconf version number, which you can get by running "autoconf --version". autoconf-1.11/Makefile.in100666 21570 1 10535 5562243231 13617 0ustar djmdaemon# Makefile for Autoconf. # Copyright (C) 1992, 1993, 1994 Free Software Foundation, Inc. # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify # it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by # the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) # any later version. # This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, # but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of # MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

If this package does not come with, e.g., installable documentation or data files, please ignore the references to them below. The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for various system-dependent variables used during compilation, and creates the Makefile(s) (one in each subdirectory of the source directory). In some packages it creates a C header file containing system-dependent definitions. It also creates a file `config.status' that you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration. To compile this package: 1. Configure the package for your system. Normally, you just `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type `./configure'. If you're using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute `configure' itself. Running `configure' takes awhile. While it is running, it prints some messages that tell what it is doing. If you don't want to see any messages, run `configure' with its standard output redirected to `/dev/null'; for example, `./configure >/dev/null'. To compile the package in a different directory from the one containing the source code, you must use a version of `make' that supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'. If for some reason `configure' is not in the source code directory that you are configuring, then it will report that it can't find the source code. In that case, run `configure' with the option `--srcdir=DIR', where DIR is the directory that contains the source code. By default, `make install' will install the package's files in `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the option `--prefix=PATH'. Alternately, you can do so by consistently giving a value for the `prefix' variable when you run `make', e.g., make prefix=/usr/gnu make prefix=/usr/gnu install You can specify separate installation prefixes for architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH' or set the `make' variable `exec_prefix' to PATH, the package will use PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries. Data files and documentation will still use the regular prefix. Normally, all files are installed using the same prefix. Some packages pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options to `configure', where PACKAGE is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). They may also pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options, where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package. The README should mention any `--with-' and `--enable-' options that the package recognizes. `configure' also recognizes the following options: `--help' Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit. `--quiet' `--silent' Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. `--verbose' Print the results of the checks. `--version' Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure' script, and exit. `--x-includes=DIR' X include files are in DIR. `--x-libraries=DIR' X library files are in DIR. `configure' also accepts and ignores some other options. On systems that require unusual options for compilation or linking that the package's `configure' script does not know about, you can give `configure' initial values for variables by setting them in the environment. In Bourne-compatible shells, you can do that on the command line like this: CC='gcc -traditional' LIBS=-lposix ./configure On systems that have the `env' program, you can do it like this: env CC='gcc -traditional' LIBS=-lposix ./configure Here are the `make' variables that you might want to override with environment variables when running `configure'. For these variables, any value given in the environment overrides the value that `configure' would choose: - Variable: CC C compiler program. The default is `cc'. - Variable: INSTALL Program to use to install files. The default is `install' if you have it, `cp' otherwise. For these variables, any value given in the environment is added to the value that `configure' chooses: - Variable: DEFS Configuration options, in the form `-Dfoo -Dbar...'. Do not use this variable in packages that create a configuration header file. - Variable: LIBS Libraries to link with, in the form `-lfoo -lbar...'. If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, we encourage you to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail diffs or instructions to the address given in the README so we can include them in the next release. 2. Type `make' to compile the package. If you want, you can override the `make' variables CFLAGS and LDFLAGS like this: make CFLAGS=-O2 LDFLAGS=-s 3. If the package comes with self-tests and you want to run them, type `make check'. If you're not sure whether there are any, try it; if `make' responds with something like make: *** No way to make target `check'. Stop. then the package does not come with self-tests. 4. Type `make install' to install programs, data files, and documentation. 5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the Makefile(s), the header file containing system-dependent definitions (if the package uses one), and `config.status' (all the files that `configure' created), type `make distclean'. The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program called `autoconf'. You only need it if you want to regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'. autoconf-1.11/NEWS100444 21570 1 14374 5563607445 12264 0ustar djmdaemonMajor changes in release 1.11: * AC_PROG_INSTALL calls install.sh with the -c option. * AC_SET_MAKE cleans up after itself. * AC_OUTPUT sets prefix and exec_prefix if they weren't set already. * AC_OUTPUT prevents shells from looking in PATH for config.status. Plus a few other bug fixes. Major changes in release 1.10: * autoheader uses config.h.bot if present, analogous to config.h.top. * AC_PROG_INSTALL looks for install.sh in srcdir or srcdir/.. or srcdir/../.. and never uses cp. * AC_PROG_CXX looks for cxx as a C++ compiler. Plus several bugs fixed. Major changes in release 1.9: * AC_YYTEXT_POINTER replaces AC_DECLARE_YYTEXT. * AC_SIZEOF_TYPE generates the cpp symbol name automatically, and autoheader generates entries for those names automatically. * AC_FIND_X gets the result from xmkmf correctly. * AC_FIND_X assumes no X if --without-x was given. * AC_FIND_XTRA adds libraries to the variable X_EXTRA_LIBS. * AC_PROG_INSTALL finds OSF/1 installbsd. Major changes in release 1.8: ** New macros: * New macros AC_LANG_C, AC_LANG_CPLUSPLUS, AC_LANG_SAVE, AC_LANG_RESTORE, AC_PROG_CXX, AC_PROG_CXXCPP, AC_REQUIRE_CPP for checking both C++ and C features in one configure script. * New macros AC_CHECKING, AC_VERBOSE, AC_WARN, AC_ERROR for printing messages. * New macros AC_FIND_XTRA, AC_MMAP, AC_SIZEOF_TYPE, AC_PREREQ, AC_SET_MAKE, AC_ENABLE. ** Changed macros: * AC_FIND_X looks for X in more places. * AC_PROG_INSTALL defaults to install.sh instead of cp, if it's in srcdir. install.sh is distributed with Autoconf. * AC_DECLARE_YYTEXT has been removed because it can't work, pending a rewrite of quoting in AC_DEFINE. * AC_OUTPUT adds its comments in C format when substituting in C files. * AC_COMPILE_CHECK protects its ECHO-TEXT argument with double quotes. ** New or changed command line options: * configure accepts --enable-FEATURE[=ARG] and --disable-FEATURE options. * configure accepts --without-PACKAGE, which sets withval=no. * configure accepts --x-includes=DIR and --x-libraries=DIR. * Giving --with-PACKAGE no argument sets withval=yes instead of withval=1. * configure accepts --help, --version, --silent/--quiet, --no-create options. * configure accepts and ignores most other Cygnus configure options, and warns about unknown options. * config.status accepts --help, --version options. ** Paths and other changes: * Relative srcdir values are not made absolute. * The values of @prefix@ and @exec_prefix@ and @top_srcdir@ get substituted. * Autoconf library files are installed in ${datadir}/autoconf, not ${datadir}. * autoheader optionally copies config.h.top to the beginning of config.h.in. * The example Makefile dependencies for configure et al. work better. * Namespace cleanup: all shell variables used internally by Autoconf have names beginning with `ac_'. More big improvements are in process for future releases, but have not yet been (variously) finished, integrated, tested, or documented enough to release yet. Major changes in release 1.7: * New macro AC_OBSOLETE. * Bugs in Makefile.in fixed. * AC_LONG_FILE_NAMES improved. Major changes in release 1.6: * New macro AC_LONG_64_BITS. * Multiple .h files can be created. * AC_FIND_X looks for X files directly if it doesn't find xmkmf. * AC_ALLOCA defines C_ALLOCA if using alloca.c. * --with-NAME can take a value, e.g., --with-targets=sun4,hp300bsd. * Unused --no-create option to configure removed. * autoheader doesn't change the timestamp of its output file if the file didn't change. * All macros that look for libraries now use AC_HAVE_LIBRARY. * config.status checks three optional environment variables to modify its behavior. * The usual bug fixes. Major changes in release 1.5: * New macros AC_FIND_X, AC_OFF_T, AC_STAT_MACROS_BROKEN, AC_REVISION. * autoconf and autoheader scripts have GNU standards conforming --version and --help options (they print their message and exit). * Many bug fixes. Major changes in release 1.4: * New macros AC_HAVE_POUNDBANG, AC_TIME_WITH_SYS_TIME, AC_LONG_DOUBLE, AC_GETGROUPS_T, AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED. * autoconf and autoheader use the M4 environment variable to determine the path of the m4 program to use. * The --macrodir option to autoconf and autoheader specifies the directory in which acspecific.m4, acgeneral.m4, etc. reside if not the default. * autoconf and autoheader can take `-' as their file names, which means to read stdin as input. * Resulting configure scripts can take a --verbose option which causes them to print the results of their tests. * AC_DEFINE quotes its second argument in such a way that spaces, magic shell characters, etc. will be preserved during various stages of expansion done by the shell. If you don't want this, use AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED instead. * Much textual processing done with external calls to tr and sed have been internalized with builtin m4 `patsubst' and `translit' calls. * AC_OUTPUT doesn't hardwire the filenames it outputs. Instead, you can set the shell variables `gen_files' and `gen_config' to the list of filenames to output. * AC_DECLARE_YYTEXT does an AC_SUBST of `LEX_OUTPUT_ROOT', which may be "lex.yy" or "lexyy", depending on the system. * AC_PROGRAMS_CHECK takes an optional third arg. If given, it is used as the default value. * If AC_ALLOCA chooses alloca.c, it also defines STACK_DIRECTION. * AC_CONST works much more reliably on more systems. * Many bug fixes. Major changes in release 1.3: configure no longer requires awk for packages that use a config.h. Support handling --with-PACKAGE options. New `autoheader' script to create `config.h.in' from `configure.in'. Ignore troublesome -lucb and -lPW when searching for alloca. Rename --exec_prefix to --exec-prefix for GNU standards conformance. Improve detection of STDC library. Add AC_HAVE_LIBRARY to check for non-default libraries. Function checking should work with future GNU libc releases. Major changes in release 1.2: The --srcdir option is now usually unnecessary. Add a file containing sample comments describing CPP macros. A comment in config.status tells which host it was configured on. Substituted variable values can now contain commas. Fix bugs in various feature checks. Major changes in release 1.1: Added AC_STRCOLL macro. Made AC_GETLOADAVG check for more things. AC_OUTPUT argument is now optional. Various bug fixes. autoconf-1.11/COPYING100666 21570 1 43076 5022247405 12611 0ustar djmdaemon GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2, June 1991 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. Preamble The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software. Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations. Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.) These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License. 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it. 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License. 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License. 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License. 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. NO WARRANTY 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. Copyright (C) 19yy This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. , 1 April 1989 Ty Coon, President of Vice This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library.

Sun Oct 3 15:41:36 1993 Roland McGrath (roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Write assignment for `extrasub'; in sed cmds, write "$extrasub" so configure.in can set it to do sed frobs. Take second arg and write it to config.status before `exit 0'. * acspecific.m4 (AC_CONST): Say `checking for lack of working const'. That is precisely accurate. Wed Sep 22 15:47:50 1993 David J. MacKenzie (djm@goldman.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acgeneral.m4: If not using GNU m4, abort. * acgeneral.m4 (AC_PREPARE): Lose if we're not in the srcdir, not if we're in it. But disable the check for now.

Mon Sep 13 21:54:46 1993 Paul Eggert (eggert@twinsun.com) * autoheader.sh: Rename the temporary output to the real output if their contents differ, not if their contents are identical. This fixes bug introduced in Aug 30 change. Mon Sep 13 16:50:30 1993 David J. MacKenzie (djm@goldman.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Run config.status with CONFIG_SHELL if defined.

In loop, skip past nonexistent dirs. * acspecific.m4 (AC_CONST): Say "working", not "broken". We are checking for a working const as opposed to a broken or absent const, not for a broken const as opposed to a working one.

Wed Aug 11 13:00:18 1993 Roland McGrath (roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acspecific.m4 (AC_LONG_FILE_NAMES): If we cannot write $dir, echo a warning msg and continue the loop to skip that directory. * acgeneral.m4 (AC_REVISION): Also eat double quotes. Thu Aug 5 14:55:59 1993 Roland McGrath (roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acconfig.h: Add TIME_WITH_SYS_TIME. Mon Aug 2 14:55:16 1993 Roland McGrath (roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acspecific.m4 (AC_DECLARE_YYTEXT): \-escape "s in rhs of AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED. Remove gratuitous second arg to AC_SUBST. Sun Aug 1 19:13:08 1993 Roland McGrath (roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acspecific.m4 (AC_GETLOADAVG): Define HAVE_GETLOADAVG if we find one and don't use our own getloadavg.c. * acconfig.h: Add HAVE_GETLOADAVG.

Wed Jul 28 00:02:34 1993 David J. MacKenzie (djm@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * Makefile.in (config.status): Run config.status --recheck, not configure. (install): Remove refs to install-info until it's released, because people are getting confused. * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): For config.status --recheck, echo the configure command line that we run. * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_FLEX): Use AC_HAVE_LIBRARY. Mon Jul 26 19:11:01 1993 Roland McGrath (roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acspecific.m4 (AC_GETLOADAVG): Check that both -lutil and -lkvm exist before choosing them in hopes they will define getloadavg. * autoheader.sh (frob): Put $2 and $3 in the expansion of AC_HAVE_LIBRARY, so AC_DEFINE there is noticed. Mon Jul 26 14:21:33 1993 David J. MacKenzie (djm@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acspecific.m4 (INT_16_BITS): Check the obvious way, so it doesn't pick up machines with 64 bit longs. Mon Jul 26 14:01:38 1993 Roland McGrath (roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acspecific.m4 (AC_GETLOADAVG): Check for -lelf with AC_HAVE_LIBRARY instead of checking for with AC_HEADER_CHECK.

Mon Jul 26 13:55:17 1993 Roland McGrath (roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * autoheader.sh (eval frob): Restore hairy sed use; we need it to handle multi-line macro invocations. Mon Jul 26 00:50:43 1993 David J. MacKenzie (djm@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acspecific.m4 (AC_FIND_X): Quote the Imakefile.

MacKenzie (djm@goldman.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * Version 1.5. * acspecific.m4 (AC_FIND_X): Let make substitute any variables in INCROOT and USRLIBDIR, instead of using sed. From wojo@veritas.com (Jack Woychowski). * acgeneral.m4 (AC_DEFINE): When printing value verbosely, use double quotes and AC_DEFINE_QUOTE, like we do when assigning the value, so shell variables get expanded the same way. * acgeneral.m4 (AC_REVISION): New macro. From wollman@uvm-gen.EMBA.UVM.EDU (Garrett Wollman). * acgeneral.m4 (AC_DEFINE): Add newline before open brace. Thu Jul 22 17:07:15 1993 Roland McGrath (roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acspecific.m4 (AC_STAT_MACROS_BROKEN): New macro. * acconfig.h (STAT_MACROS_BROKEN): New #undef. Wed Jul 21 15:44:32 1993 Roland McGrath (roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acspecific.m4 (AC_DECLARE_YYTEXT): Use AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED so shell var is replaced in rhs. Wed Jul 21 13:31:38 1993 David J. MacKenzie (djm@goldman.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acconfig.h (size_t, mode_t, off_t): Added. * acspecific.m4 (AC_OFF_T): New macro. Tue Jul 20 15:39:44 1993 David J. MacKenzie (djm@goldman.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * autoheader.sh: Put header-file.in in comment at top. * acconfig.h (NDIR): Added. Mon Jul 19 22:10:49 1993 David J.

Sun Jul 18 22:36:33 1993 Roland McGrath (roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * autoheader.sh (frob): Use `#' as the first line of each definition. (eval frob): Totally simplify sed use to just handle "^@@@.*@@@$". Wed Jul 14 22:44:25 1993 Roland McGrath (roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acconfig.h: Restore blank lines between paragraphs. * autoheader.sh (libs): New variable and frob to set it from AC_HAVE_LIBRARY uses. Produce #undef HAVE_* for each $libs. Tue Jul 13 19:03:46 1993 David J. MacKenzie (djm@kropotkin.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acconfig.h: Sort the entries, like the comment says. * acspecific.m4 (AC_GETLOADAVG): Only check for the AIX library once, looking in both local and system dirs. Consolidate SVR4 and Solaris cases. Mon Jul 12 20:33:36 1993 Roland McGrath (roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acspecific.m4 (AC_GETLOADAVG): If we find sys/dg_sys_info.h, do AC_HAVE_LIBRARY on -ldgc. Sun Jul 11 00:43:51 1993 David J. MacKenzie (djm@goldman.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acspecific.m4 (AC_GETLOADAVG): BSD library is -lutil, not -lutils, and requires -lkvm too. Check for local AIX library using AC_HAVE_LIBRARY, not AC_COMPILE_CHECK. Un-nest some conditionals. Stop checking once we've found a way to get getloadavg. Thu Jul 8 20:21:28 1993 David J. MacKenzie (djm@goldman.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * Makefile.in: Remove rules for making *.conf; make Autoconf's configure script semi-normally. Wed Jul 7 14:37:35 1993 David J. MacKenzie (djm@goldman.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * autoheader.sh (--help): Print help message to stdout and exit 0. (--version): Exit after printing version number. * autoconf.sh (--version): Exit after printing version number. * acspecific.m4 (AC_LONG_DOUBLE): Make sure that long double isn't smaller than double, as in Ultrix 4.[23] cc. * acgeneral.m4 (AC_REPLACE_FUNCS): Include ctype.h in the test program to get stubs. * acspecific.m4 (AC_FIND_X): New macro. Tue Jul 6 19:15:17 1993 David J. MacKenzie (djm@goldman.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acspecific.m4 (AC_GETLOADAVG): Try ls -L first, in case /dev/kmem is a symlink (as on Solaris). Wed Jun 30 22:08:22 1993 Noah Friedman (friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acspecific.m4 (AC_MINUS_C_MINUS_O): Remove spurious `then'. Fri Jun 25 23:16:42 1993 Paul Eggert (eggert@twinsun.com) * acspecific.m4 (AC_CONST): Replace `p = ' with `ccp = '; the former wasn't ANSI C, and was causing working compilers to be rejected. Fri Jun 25 13:26:34 1993 Noah Friedman (friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acspecific.m4 (AC_LONG_FILE_NAMES): Redirect rm's stderr to /dev/null. Thu Jun 24 15:58:04 1993 Noah Friedman (friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * autoconf.sh, autoheader.sh, acgeneral.m4 (AC_PREPARE): Undo change of Jun 16 1993. Only set `LANG' and `LC_ALL' to "C" if already set. Sat Jun 19 00:01:51 1993 Jim Meyering (meyering@comco.com) * acgeneral.m4: Undefine m4's `format' builtin. * acspecific.m4 (AC_HAVE_POUNDBANG): Make conftest executable, but not necessarily writable by group or other. Thu Jun 17 21:10:33 1993 Noah Friedman (friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CPP): Put double quotes around ${CC-cc}, not single quotes. If --verbose option given, say what CPP is being set to. Wed Jun 16 17:50:00 1993 Jim Blandy (jimb@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CPP): Make sure that `cc -E` doesn't run the program through the C compiler too. Bob Olson says it does on the NeXT. Wed Jun 16 16:17:05 1993 Noah Friedman (friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * autoconf.sh, autoheader.sh, acgeneral.m4 (AC_PREPARE): Always set `LANG' and `LC_ALL' environment variables to `C'. Fri Jun 11 14:29:31 1993 Roland McGrath (roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acspecific.m4 (AC_MINUS_C_MINUS_O): Test that cc works at all, and only test it for -c -o if it does. Tue Jun 8 01:47:22 1993 Paul Eggert (eggert@twinsun.com) * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): The line DEFS="`echo \"$DEFS\" | sed 's%[&\\\]%\\\&%g'`" doesn't work in some shells, which don't allow nesting \"\" inside `` inside "", and which don't unescape \\\& in the expected (?) way. Also, some versions of echo interpret backslashes inside $DEFS. Put $DEFS into a temporary file to avoid these portability minefields. Mon Jun 7 20:11:50 1993 Roland McGrath (roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acspecific.m4 (AC_GETLOADAVG): In setting KMEM_GROUP, use new sed magic from friedman which should win with both meanings of ls -lg. Mon Jun 7 06:48:49 1993 Noah Friedman (friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * Makefile.in (dist): Change gzipped tar file extension to `.gz'. Use explicit --gzip option to tar to make sure tar uses the right compression program (or else exits from failure to understand the option). * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Don't split sed expr for exec_prefix across two lines, since not all versions of sed understand that. * acspecific.m4 (AC_HAVE_POUNDBANG): Complete rewrite which doesn't depend on csh. Tue Jun 1 03:06:28 1993 Noah Friedman (friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * Version 1.4.1 (not announced to the general public, but a snapshot was put on the June '93 GNU CDROM). * Makefile.in (dist): If ln fails (e.g. because of cross-device links), mention on stdout that file is being copied. * acgeneral.m4 (AC_PREPARE): Use `[$]*' in assignment to configure_args to get shell positional args, rather than m4 args to AC_PREPARE. (AC_OUTPUT): Use `configure_args' in config.status when invoked with --recheck, rather than $*. Mon May 31 13:12:56 1993 Paul Eggert (eggert@twinsun.com) * acspecific.m4 (AC_LONG_FILE_NAMES): rm $dir/conftest*, not conftest*. Mon May 31 04:18:18 1993 Roland McGrath (friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acgeneral.m4 (AC_HAVE_LIBRARY): Quote libname in define. Sun May 30 19:52:24 1993 Roland McGrath (roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acspecific.m4 (AC_SETVBUF_REVERSED): Pass (char *) main to setvbuf instead of zero. Thu May 27 20:30:53 1993 Roland McGrath (roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acgeneral.m4 (AC_PREPARE): Save $* in shell var `configure_args'. (AC_OUTPUT): Use $configure_args in place of $*. Wed May 26 16:19:51 1993 Noah Friedman (friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * autoconf.texi (AC_PROG_INSTALL): Doc fix. (Automatic Remaking): Put code fragment in @example ... @end example. Mon May 24 15:46:47 1993 Roland McGrath (roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * autoheader.sh (frob): Redefine AC_CONFIG_HEADER to set shell variable `config_h'. (config_h): New variable, initialize to "config.h" before frobbing. (final output): Write ${config_h}.in. Sat May 22 17:45:19 1993 Noah Friedman (friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * Version 1.4 released. Thu May 20 20:25:45 1993 Jim Blandy (jimb@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acgeneral.m4 (AC_IDENTITY): New function. (AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED): Use it to fix this; due to a misunderstanding of m4, this was using its first argument as the definition. Thu May 20 09:21:55 1993 Jim Meyering (meyering@comco.com) * acspecific.m4 (AC_ALLOCA) [find_stack_direction]: Return the value from the recursive call. If it worked before, it was by luck. From Bruno Haible . Tue May 18 23:40:21 1993 Noah Friedman (friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acspecific.m4 (AC_STDC_HEADERS): Require AC_PROG_CPP. Mon May 17 18:01:09 1993 Karl Berry (karl@hal.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Use variables gen_files and gen_config in the loop that generates the output (Make)files, instead of hardwiring the filenames. Sat May 15 17:23:19 1993 Roland McGrath (roland@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * autoconf.sh: Accept `-' to mean read stdin as input. * autoheader.sh: Likewise. Fri May 14 12:41:02 1993 Noah Friedman (friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * autoheader.sh, acspecific.m4 (AC_PREPARE): If `LANG' environment variable is set, reset its value to `C'. This is so `tr [...]' works more portably. Thu May 13 22:56:20 1993 Paul Eggert (eggert@twinsun.com) * acspecific.m4 (VOID_CLOSEDIR): Test closedir instead of assuming that it works. E.g. dynix closedir yields garbage, but has no prototype. Presumably Xenix closedir had the same problem, so stop special-casing it. Wed May 12 20:25:36 1993 Jim Meyering (meyering@comco.com) * acconfig.h: Add HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE. Wed May 12 15:07:36 1993 Roland McGrath (roland@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acgeneral.m4 (AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED): New macro. * acgeneral.m4 (AC_FUNC_CHECK): Include ctype.h instead of stdio.h. We want it only to define __stub_* in glibc. Using stdio.h lost when it contained a conflicting prototype for $1; ctype.h has fewer prototypes. * acconfig.h: Add GETGROUPS_T. * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_RANLIB): Use : instead of @: for no-op. Some braindead make does bizarre magical things with @ in variables. Mon May 10 14:24:27 1993 Noah Friedman (friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acspecific.m4 (AC_HAVE_POUNDBANG): New feature. * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Add more backslashes to character class in DEFS filter (sigh). Sun May 9 14:04:31 1993 Roland McGrath (roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acgeneral.m4 (AC_DEFINE_QUOTE): No AC_QUOTE_SED (was innermost). (AC_HEADER_EGREP, AC_PROGRAM_EGREP, AC_TEST_CPP): Put a \ before $DEFS in string to be evalled. (AC_OUTPUT): Run DEFS through a sed filter that quotes things in it from sed (woo woo!) before writing it into config.status. * acspecific.m4 (AC_ALLOCA): Use AC_PROGRAM_EGREP to test for [CRAY && !CRAY2], instead of AC_TEST_PROGRAM. No need to run a program for this. * acgeneral.m4 (AC_PROGRAM_CHECK): Extract the first word of $2 when looking for it in PATH, so it can be a program name with args. Omit default assignment if $4 is empty. Only write verbose msg if $1 was set nonempty. * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_YACC): Pass 'bison -y' (quoted like that) in list to AC_PROGRAMS_CHECK. Don't test for bison later to add -y flag. Sat May 8 00:23:58 1993 Jim Meyering (meyering@comco.com) * acgeneral.m4 (AC_REPLACE_FUNCS): Add a trailing newline in code for AC_COMPILE_CHECK. Otherwise it got spurious failures. * acspecific.m4 (TIME_WITH_SYS_TIME): New macro. * Makefile.in (dist): Depend on Makefile. Use gzip instead of compress. Link files individually instead of en masse; if a link fails, use `cp -f' on the losing file. * acspecific.m4 (AC_ALLOCA): Define CRAY_STACKSEG_END (the name of a function used in alloca.c) for CRAY-1, CRAY X-MP, and CRAY Y-MP. Fri May 7 15:56:26 1993 Roland McGrath (roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acspecific.m4 (AC_GETLOADAVG): Check for mach/mach.h, but don't disable nlist checks if found. Fri May 7 04:59:25 1993 Noah Friedman (friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL): Don't look for `install' in /usr/ucb. Thu May 6 20:41:35 1993 Roland McGrath (roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * acgeneral.m4 (AC_FUNC_CHECK): The test program should choke on #ifdef __stub___$1 as well. (AC_REPLACE_FUNCS): Make the test program choke on stubs.

The configuration scripts produced by Autoconf are independent of Autoconf when they are run, so their users do not need to have Autoconf. The configuration scripts produced by Autoconf normally require no manual user intervention when run; they do not even take an argument specifying the system type. Instead, they test for the presence of each feature that the software package they are for might need individually. (Before each check, they print a one-line message stating what they are checking for, so the user doesn't get too bored while waiting for the script to finish.) As a result, they deal well with systems that are hybrids or customized from the more common UNIX variants. There is no need to maintain files that list the features supported by each release of each variant of UNIX. For each software package that Autoconf is used with, it creates a configuration script from a template file that lists the operating system features that the package can use. After the shell code to recognize and respond to an operating system feature has been written, Autoconf allows it to be shared by many software packages that can use (or need) that feature. If it later turns out that the shell code needs adjustment for some reason, it needs to be changed in only one place; all of the the configuration scripts can be regenerated automatically to take advantage of the updated code. Larry Wall's Metaconfig package is similar in purpose to Autoconf, but is more general. The scripts it produces require manual user intervention, which is quite inconvenient when configuring large source trees. Unlike Metaconfig scripts, Autoconf scripts can support cross-compiling, if some care is taken in writing them. They should avoid executing test programs, since test programs compiled with a cross-compiler can not be executed on the host system. Also, they shouldn't do anything that tests features of the host system instead of the target system. Autoconf imposes some restrictions on the names of macros used with @code{#ifdef} in C programs (@pxref{Preprocessor Symbol Index}). Autoconf requires GNU @code{m4} in order to generate the scripts. It uses features that some UNIX versions of @code{m4} do not have. It also overflows internal limits of some versions of @code{m4}, including GNU @code{m4} 1.0; so use a later version of GNU @code{m4}. Autoconf does not work well with GNU C library releases before 1.06. The GNU C library contains stubs (which always return an error) for functions that are not available instead of omitting them from the library. As a result, Autoconf scripts are fooled into thinking that those functions are available. This problem does not exist with releases 1.06 and later of the GNU C library, which define C preprocessor macros that the Autoconf macros @code{AC_FUNC_CHECK} and @code{AC_REPLACE_FUNCS} test, indicating that certain functions are stubs (@pxref{General Feature Tests}, for more information on checking for functions). @ifinfo Autoconf was written by David MacKenzie, with help from Franc,ois @end ifinfo @tex Autoconf was written by David MacKenzie, with help from Fran\c cois @end tex Pinard, Karl Berry, Richard Pixley, Ian Lance Taylor, Roland McGrath, Noah Friedman, and david d zuhn. It was inspired by Brian Fox's automatic configuration system for Bash, by Larry Wall's Metaconfig, and by Richard Stallman, Richard Pixley, and John Gilmore's configuration tools for the GNU compiler and object file utilities.

Please include the Autoconf version number, which you can get by running @samp{autoconf --version}. @node Distributing, Making configure Scripts, Introduction, Top @chapter Distributing Autoconf Output The configuration scripts that Autoconf produces are covered by the GNU General Public License. This is because they consist almost entirely of parts of Autoconf itself, rearranged somewhat, and Autoconf is distributed under the terms of the GPL. As applied to Autoconf, the GPL just means that you need to distribute @file{configure.in}, and @file{aclocal.m4}, @file{acconfig.h}, and @file{@var{config}.h.top} and @file{@var{config}.h.bot} if you use them, along with @file{configure}. Programs that use Autoconf scripts to configure themselves do not automatically come under the GPL. Distributing an Autoconf configuration script as part of a program is considered to be @emph{mere aggregation} of that work with the Autoconf script. Such programs are not derivative works based on Autoconf; only their configuration scripts are. We still encourage software authors to distribute their work under terms like those of the GPL, but doing so is not required to use Autoconf. @node Making configure Scripts, Specific Tests, Distributing, Top @chapter Making @code{configure} Scripts The configuration scripts that Autoconf produces are by convention called @code{configure}. When run, @code{configure} creates several files, replacing configuration parameters in them with values appropriate for the system being configured. The files that @code{configure} creates are: @itemize @bullet @item one or more @file{Makefile} files (one in each subdirectory of the package), from template @file{Makefile.in} files (@pxref{Makefiles}); @item optionally, a C header file, the name of which is configurable, containing @code{#define} statements (@pxref{Setup}); @item a shell script called @file{config.status} that, when run, will recreate the files listed above (@pxref{Invoking config.status}). @end itemize To create a @code{configure} script with Autoconf, you need to write an Autoconf input file (@file{configure.in}) and run Autoconf on it to produce the script. If you write your own feature tests to supplement those that come with Autoconf, you might also write a file called @file{aclocal.m4}. If you use a C header file to contain @code{#define} directives, you might also write @file{config.h.top}, @file{config.h.bot}, and @file{acconfig.h}, and you will distribute the Autoconf-generated file @file{config.h.in} with the package. Here is a diagram showing how the files that can be used in configuration are produced. Programs that are executed are suffixed by @samp{*}. Optional files are enclosed in square brackets (@samp{[]}). @code{autoconf} and @code{autoheader} also read the installed files @file{acgeneral.m4} and @file{acspecific.m4}, and also an installed @file{aclocal.m4} if it exists. @noindent Files used in preparing a software package for distribution: @example @group configure.in --. .------> autoconf* -----> configure +---+ [aclocal.m4] --' `---. +--> [autoheader*] -> [config.h.in] [acconfig.h] ----. | +-----' [config.h.top] --+ [config.h.bot] --' Makefile.in -------------------------------> Makefile.in @end group @end example @noindent Files used in configuring a software package: @example @group configure* ------------. | [config.h.in] -. v .-> [config.h] -. +--> config.status* -+ +--> make* Makefile.in ---' `-> Makefile ---' @end group @end example @menu * Writing configure.in:: What to put in an Autoconf input file. * Invoking autoconf:: How to create configuration scripts. * Invoking autoheader:: How to create configuration header files. @end menu @node Writing configure.in, Invoking autoconf, , Making configure Scripts @section Writing @file{configure.in} To produce a @code{configure} script for a software package, create a file called @file{configure.in} that contains invocations of the Autoconf macros that test the system features your package needs or can use. Autoconf macros already exist to check for many features; see @ref{Specific Tests}, for their descriptions. For most other features, you can use Autoconf template macros to produce custom checks; see @ref{General Feature Tests}, for information about them. For especially tricky or specialized features, @file{configure.in} might need to contain some hand-crafted shell commands. @xref{Writing Macros}, for guidelines on writing tests from scratch. Every @file{configure.in} must begin with a call to @code{AC_INIT} and end with a call to @code{AC_OUTPUT} (@pxref{Setup}). Other than that, the order in which @file{configure.in} calls the Autoconf macros is generally not important, except that some macros rely on other macros having been called first, because they check previously set values of some variables to decide what to do. These macros are noted in the individual descriptions (@pxref{Specific Tests}). To encourage consistency, here is a suggested order for calling the Autoconf macros. A few macros need to be called in a different order from the one given here; they are noted in their individual descriptions (@pxref{Specific Tests}). Note that there must not be any space between the macro name and the open parentheses. @display @group @code{AC_INIT(@var{file})} checks for alternative programs checks for UNIX variants that set C preprocessor variables checks for header files checks for typedefs checks for library functions checks for structures checks for compiler characteristics checks for system services other checks for UNIX variants @code{AC_OUTPUT(@r{[}@var{file@dots{}}@r{]})} @end group @end display You can include comments in @file{configure.in} files by starting them with the @code{m4} predefined macro @code{dnl}, which discards text up through the next newline. These comments do not appear in the generated @code{configure} scripts. For example, it is helpful to begin @file{configure.in} files with a line like this: @example dnl Process this file with autoconf to produce a configure script. @end example @xref{Sample configure.in}, for an example of a real @file{configure.in} script. @node Invoking autoconf, Invoking autoheader, Writing configure.in, Making configure Scripts @section Invoking @code{autoconf} To create @code{configure} from @file{configure.in}, run the @code{autoconf} program with no arguments. @code{autoconf} processes @file{configure.in} with the @code{m4} macro processor, using the Autoconf macros. If you give @code{autoconf} an argument, it reads that file instead of @file{configure.in} and writes the configuration script to the standard output instead of to @file{configure}. If you give @code{autoconf} the argument @samp{-}, it reads the standard input instead of @file{configure.in} and writes the configuration script on the standard output. The Autoconf macros are defined in two or more files. Two of the files are distributed with Autoconf: @code{autoconf} first reads @file{acgeneral.m4} (@pxref{General Purpose Macros}), then @file{acspecific.m4} (@pxref{Specific Tests}). After reading them, @code{autoconf} looks for an optional file called @file{aclocal.m4}, first in the directory that contains other installed Autoconf macro files, and then in the current directory. If both files exist, it uses both of them. Those files can contain your site's own locally written Autoconf macro definitions (@pxref{Writing Macros}, for more information). If a macro is defined in more than one of the files that @code{autoconf} reads, the last definition it reads overrides the earlier ones. You can override the directory where @code{autoconf} looks for the installed macro files by setting the @code{AC_MACRODIR} environment variable to a different directory. You can also give @code{autoconf} the @samp{--macrodir} option, which overrides @code{AC_MACRODIR}. @code{autoconf} also accepts the options @code{--version}, which prints the Autoconf version number and exits, and @code{--help}, which prints a summary of the command-line options and exits. @node Invoking autoheader, , Invoking autoconf, Making configure Scripts @section Invoking @code{autoheader} You can use the @code{autoheader} program to create a template file of C @samp{#define} statements for @code{configure} to use. By default, the file that @code{autoheader} creates is called @file{config.h.in}; if @file{configure.in} invokes @code{AC_CONFIG_HEADER(@var{file})}, @code{autoheader} creates @file{@var{file}.in}. @code{autoheader} scans @file{configure.in} and figures out which C preprocessor symbols it might define. It copies comments and @code{#define} and @code{#undef} statements from a file called @file{acconfig.h}, which comes with and is installed with Autoconf. It also uses a file called @file{acconfig.h} in the current directory, if present; you must create that file to contain entries for any additional symbols that you @code{AC_DEFINE}. For symbols defined by @code{AC_HAVE_HEADERS}, @code{AC_HAVE_FUNCS}, @code{AC_SIZEOF_TYPE}, or @code{AC_HAVE_LIBRARY}, @code{autoheader} generates comments and @code{#undef} statements itself rather than copying them from a file, since the possible symbols are effectively limitless. The file that @code{autoheader} creates usually contains only @code{#define} and @code{#undef} statements and their accompanying comments. However, if a file called @file{@var{file}.top} (typically @file{config.h.top}) exists in the current directory, @code{autoheader} copies that file to the beginning of its output. If you give @code{autoheader} an argument, it uses that file instead of @file{configure.in} and writes the header file to the standard output instead of to @file{config.h.in}. If you give @code{autoheader} an argument of @samp{-}, it reads the standard input instead of @file{configure.in} and writes the header file to the standard output. You can override the directory where @code{autoheader} looks for the installed macro and @file{acconfig.h} files by setting the @code{AC_MACRODIR} environment variable to a different directory. You can also give @code{autoheader} the @samp{--macrodir} option, which overrides @code{AC_MACRODIR}. @code{autoheader} also accepts the options @code{--version}, which prints the Autoconf version number and exits, and @code{--help}, which prints a summary of the command-line options and exits. @node Specific Tests, General Purpose Macros, Making configure Scripts, Top @chapter Specific Tests These macros test for particular operating system features that packages might need or want to use. If you need to test for a feature that none of these macros check for, you can probably do it by calling one of the general purpose test macros with appropriate arguments (@pxref{General Feature Tests}). All of these macros that set @code{make} variables call @code{AC_SUBST} on those variables (@pxref{Setting Variables}, for details about @code{AC_SUBST}). The phrase ``define @var{name}'' is used below as a shorthand to mean either add @samp{-D@var{name}=1} to the @code{make} variable @code{DEFS}, or put @samp{#define @var{name} 1} in the configuration header file, depending on whether @code{AC_CONFIG_HEADER} has been called. @xref{Setting Variables}, for more information. Within each section below, the macros are listed in alphabetical order. The macros are generally named for the @code{make} variables or C preprocessor macros that they define; those names are based largely on what existing GNU programs use. These macros are defined in the file @file{acspecific.m4}. @menu * Alternative Programs:: Selecting between alternative programs. * Header Files:: Header files that might be missing. * Typedefs:: @code{typedef}s that might be missing. * Library Functions:: C library functions that might be missing. * Structures:: Structures or members that might be missing. * Compiler Characteristics:: C compiler or machine architecture features. * System Services:: Operating system services. * UNIX Variants:: Special cases for specific UNIX variants. @end menu @node Alternative Programs, Header Files, , Specific Tests @section Alternative Programs The following macros check for the presence or behavior of particular programs: @defmac AC_GCC_TRADITIONAL @maindex GCC_TRADITIONAL Add @samp{-traditional} to @code{make} variable @code{CC} if using the GNU C compiler and @code{ioctl} does not work properly without @samp{-traditional}. This macro calls @code{AC_PROG_CC} and @code{AC_PROG_CPP} if they haven't been called already. @end defmac @defmac AC_LN_S @maindex LN_S If @samp{ln -s} works on the current filesystem (the O.S. and filesystem support symbolic links), set shell and @code{make} variable @code{LN_S} to @samp{ln -s}, otherwise set it to @samp{ln}. @end defmac @defmac AC_MINUS_C_MINUS_O @maindex MINUS_C_MINUS_O @vindex NO_MINUS_C_MINUS_O If the C compiler does not accept the @samp{-c} and @samp{-o} options simultaneously, define @code{NO_MINUS_C_MINUS_O}. @end defmac @defmac AC_PROG_AWK @maindex PROG_AWK Check for @code{mawk}, @code{gawk}, @code{nawk}, and @code{awk}, in that order, and set @code{make} variable @code{AWK} to the first one that it finds. @end defmac @defmac AC_PROG_CC @maindex PROG_CC If @code{gcc} is found, set @code{make} variable @code{CC} to @samp{gcc}, and set shell variable @code{GCC} to 1 for use by macros such as @code{AC_GCC_TRADITIONAL}. @end defmac @defmac AC_PROG_CPP @maindex PROG_CPP Set shell and @code{make} variable @code{CPP} to a command that runs the C preprocessor. If @samp{$CC -E} doesn't work, it uses @file{/lib/cpp}. It is only portable to run @code{CPP} on files with a @file{.c} extension. If the current language is C (@pxref{Language Choice}), many of the specific test macros use the value of @code{CPP} indirectly by calling @code{AC_TEST_CPP}, @code{AC_HEADER_CHECK}, @code{AC_HEADER_EGREP}, or @code{AC_PROGRAM_EGREP}. Those macros call this macro first if it hasn't been called already. It calls @code{AC_PROG_CC} if it hasn't been called already. @end defmac @defmac AC_PROG_CXX @maindex PROG_CXX Determine a C++ compiler to use. Check if the environment variable @var{CXX} or @var{CCC} (in that order) is set; if so, set @code{make} variable @code{CXX} to its value. Otherwise search for a C++ compiler under likely names (@code{c++}, @code{g++}, @code{gcc}, and @code{CC}). If none of those checks succeed, as a last resort set @code{CXX} to @code{gcc}. @end defmac @defmac AC_PROG_CXXCPP @maindex PROG_CXXCPP Set shell and @code{make} variable @code{CXXCPP} to a command that runs the C++ preprocessor. If @samp{$CXX -E} doesn't work, it uses @file{/lib/cpp}. It is only portable to run @code{CXXCPP} on files with a @file{.C} or @file{.cc} extension. If the current language is C++ (@pxref{Language Choice}), many of the specific test macros use the value of @code{CXXCPP} indirectly by calling @code{AC_TEST_CPP}, @code{AC_HEADER_CHECK}, @code{AC_HEADER_EGREP}, or @code{AC_PROGRAM_EGREP}. Those macros call this macro first if it hasn't been called already. This macro calls @code{AC_PROG_CXX} if it hasn't been called already. @end defmac @defmac AC_PROG_INSTALL @maindex PROG_INSTALL Set @code{make} variable @code{INSTALL} to @samp{install -c} if @code{install} is found and is compatible with the BSD and GNU versions. Otherwise, set @code{INSTALL} to @samp{@var{dir}/install.sh -c}, where it checks for @file{install.sh} in the directories @file{$srcdir}, @file{$srcdir/..}, and @file{$srcdir/../..} to determine @var{dir}. This macro screens out the false matches @file{/etc/install}, @file{/usr/sbin/install}, and other instances of @code{install} known not to work. It also sets the variable @code{INSTALL_PROGRAM} to @samp{$@{INSTALL@}} and @code{INSTALL_DATA} to @samp{$@{INSTALL@} -m 644}. If you need to use your own @file{install.sh} because it has features not found in standard @code{install} programs, there is no reason to use @code{AC_PROG_INSTALL}; just put the pathname of your script into your @file{Makefile.in} files. @end defmac @defmac AC_PROG_LEX @maindex PROG_LEX If @code{flex} is found, set @code{make} variable @code{LEX} to @samp{flex} and @code{LEXLIB} to @samp{-lfl}, if that library is in a standard place. Otherwise set @code{LEX} to @samp{lex} and @code{LEXLIB} to @samp{-ll}. @end defmac @defmac AC_PROG_RANLIB @maindex PROG_RANLIB Set @code{make} variable @code{RANLIB} to @samp{ranlib} if @code{ranlib} is found, otherwise to @samp{:} (do nothing). @end defmac @defmac AC_PROG_YACC @maindex PROG_YACC If @code{bison} is found, set @code{make} variable @code{YACC} to @samp{bison -y}. Otherwise, if @code{byacc} is found, set @code{YACC} to @samp{byacc}. Otherwise set @code{YACC} to @samp{yacc}. @end defmac @defmac AC_RSH @maindex RSH @vindex NO_REMOTE @vindex HAVE_NETDB_H If a remote shell is available, put @samp{rtapelib.o} in @code{make} variable @code{RTAPELIB}. Otherwise, also do so if @file{netdb.h} exists (implying the @code{rexec} function), and in addition define @code{HAVE_NETDB_H}. If neither a remote shell nor @code{rexec} is available, define @code{NO_REMOTE}. @end defmac @defmac AC_SET_MAKE @maindex SET_MAKE If @code{make} predefines the variable @code{MAKE}, define @code{make} variable @code{SET_MAKE} to be empty. Otherwise, define @code{SET_MAKE} to contain @samp{MAKE=make}. Calls @code{AC_SUBST} for @code{SET_MAKE}. In recent versions of @code{make}, the variable @code{MAKE} contains the name of the @code{make} program plus options it was given. It is used when running @code{make} recursively in subdirectories. But some old versions of @code{make} don't set the @code{MAKE} variable. This macro allows use of @code{MAKE} on all systems. If you use this macro, simply place a line like this in your @file{Makefile.in} file(s): @example @@SET_MAKE@@ @end example @end defmac @defmac AC_YYTEXT_POINTER @maindex YYTEXT_POINTER @vindex YYTEXT_POINTER Define @code{YYTEXT_POINTER} if @code{yytext} is a @samp{char *} instead of a @samp{char []}. This depends on whether @code{lex} or @code{flex} is being used. This macro calls @code{AC_PROG_CPP} (or @code{AC_PROG_CXXCPP} if C++ is the current language, @pxref{Language Choice}) and @code{AC_PROG_LEX} if they haven't been called already. This macro replaces @code{AC_DECLARE_YYTEXT}, which didn't work. @end defmac @node Header Files, Typedefs, Alternative Programs, Specific Tests @section Header Files The following macros check for the presence of certain C header files: @defmac AC_DIR_HEADER @maindex DIR_HEADER @vindex DIRENT @vindex SYSDIR @vindex SYSNDIR @vindex NDIR @vindex VOID_CLOSEDIR If the system has @file{dirent.h}, define @code{DIRENT}; otherwise, if it has @file{sys/ndir.h}, define @code{SYSNDIR}; otherwise, if it has @file{sys/dir.h}, define @code{SYSDIR}; otherwise, if it has @file{ndir.h}, define @code{NDIR}. Also, if the directory library header file contains a declaration of the @code{closedir} function with a @code{void} return type, define @code{VOID_CLOSEDIR}. The directory library declarations in the source code should look something like the following, which assumes that you have also called @samp{AC_HAVE_HEADERS(unistd.h)}: @example @group #ifdef HAVE_UNISTD_H #include #include #endif /* unistd.h defines _POSIX_VERSION on POSIX.1 systems. */ #if defined(DIRENT) || defined(_POSIX_VERSION) #include #define NLENGTH(dirent) (strlen((dirent)->d_name)) #else /* not (DIRENT or _POSIX_VERSION) */ #define dirent direct #define NLENGTH(dirent) ((dirent)->d_namlen) #ifdef SYSNDIR #include #endif /* SYSNDIR */ #ifdef SYSDIR #include #endif /* SYSDIR */ #ifdef NDIR #include #endif /* NDIR */ #endif /* not (DIRENT or _POSIX_VERSION) */ @end group @end example Using the above declarations, the program would declare variables to be type @code{struct dirent}, not @code{struct direct}, and would access the length of a directory entry name by passing a pointer to a @code{struct dirent} to the @code{NLENGTH} macro. @end defmac @defmac AC_MAJOR_HEADER @maindex MAJOR_HEADER @vindex MAJOR_IN_MKDEV @vindex MAJOR_IN_SYSMACROS If @file{sys/types.h} does not define @code{major}, @code{minor}, and @code{makedev}, but @file{sys/mkdev.h} does, define @code{MAJOR_IN_MKDEV}; otherwise, if @file{sys/sysmacros.h} does, define @code{MAJOR_IN_SYSMACROS}. @end defmac @defmac AC_MEMORY_H @maindex MEMORY_H @vindex NEED_MEMORY_H Define @code{NEED_MEMORY_H} if @code{memcpy}, @code{memcmp}, etc. are not declared in @file{string.h} and @file{memory.h} exists. This macro is obsolete; instead, use @code{AC_HAVE_HEADERS(memory.h)}. See the example for @code{AC_STDC_HEADERS}. @end defmac @defmac AC_STDC_HEADERS @maindex STDC_HEADERS @vindex STDC_HEADERS Define @code{STDC_HEADERS} if the system has ANSI C header files. Specifically, this macro checks for @file{stdlib.h}, @file{stdarg.h}, @file{string.h}, and @file{float.h}; if the system has those, it probably has the rest of the ANSI C header files. This macro also checks whether @file{string.h} declares @code{memchr} (and thus presumably the other @code{mem} functions), whether @file{stdlib.h} declare @code{free} (and thus presumably @code{malloc} and other related functions), and whether the @file{ctype.h} macros work on characters with the high bit set, as ANSI C requires. Use @code{STDC_HEADERS} instead of @code{__STDC__} to determine whether the system has ANSI-compliant header files (and probably C library functions) because many systems that have GCC do not have ANSI C header files. To check whether to use the System V/ANSI C string functions and header file, you can put the following in @file{configure.in}: @example AC_STDC_HEADERS AC_HAVE_HEADERS(string.h memory.h) @end example @noindent Then, in the code, use a test like this: @example @group #if STDC_HEADERS || HAVE_STRING_H #include /* An ANSI string.h and pre-ANSI memory.h might conflict. */ #if !STDC_HEADERS && HAVE_MEMORY_H #include #endif /* not STDC_HEADERS and HAVE_MEMORY_H */ #define index strchr #define rindex strrchr #define bcopy(s, d, n) memcpy ((d), (s), (n)) #define bcmp(s1, s2, n) memcmp ((s1), (s2), (n)) #define bzero(s, n) memset ((s), 0, (n)) #else /* not STDC_HEADERS and not HAVE_STRING_H */ #include /* memory.h and strings.h conflict on some systems. */ #endif /* not STDC_HEADERS and not HAVE_STRING_H */ @end group @end example @noindent This example asssumes that your code uses the BSD style functions. If you use the System V/ANSI C style functions, you will need to replace the macro definitions with ones that go in the other direction. This macro calls @code{AC_PROG_CPP} or @code{AC_PROG_CXXCPP} (depending on which language is current, @pxref{Language Choice}), if it hasn't been called already. @end defmac @defmac AC_UNISTD_H @maindex UNISTD_H @vindex HAVE_UNISTD_H Define @code{HAVE_UNISTD_H} if the system has @file{unistd.h}. This macro is obsolete; instead, use @samp{AC_HAVE_HEADERS(unistd.h)}. The way to check if the system supports POSIX.1 is: @example @group #if HAVE_UNISTD_H #include #include #endif #ifdef _POSIX_VERSION /* Code for POSIX.1 systems. */ #endif @end group @end example @vindex _POSIX_VERSION @code{_POSIX_VERSION} is defined when @file{unistd.h} is included on POSIX.1 systems. If there is no @file{unistd.h}, it is definitely not a POSIX.1 system. However, some non-POSIX.1 systems do have @file{unistd.h}. @end defmac @defmac AC_USG @maindex USG @vindex USG Define @code{USG} if the system does not have @file{strings.h}, @code{rindex}, @code{bzero}, etc. This implies that it has @file{string.h}, @code{strrchr}, @code{memset}, etc. The symbol @code{USG} is obsolete. Instead of this macro, use @code{AC_HAVE_HEADERS(string.h)} and use @code{HAVE_STRING_H} in your code. See the example for @code{AC_STDC_HEADERS}. @end defmac @defmac AC_SYS_SIGLIST_DECLARED @maindex SYS_SIGLIST_DECLARED @vindex SYS_SIGLIST_DECLARED Define @code{SYS_SIGLIST_DECLARED} if the variable @code{sys_siglist} is declared in a system header file, either @file{signal.h} or @file{unistd.h}. @end defmac @node Typedefs, Library Functions, Header Files, Specific Tests @section Typedefs The following macros check for predefined C types: @defmac AC_GETGROUPS_T @maindex GETGROUPS_T @vindex GETGROUPS_T Define @code{GETGROUPS_T} to be whichever of @code{gid_t} or @code{int} is the base type of the array argument to @code{getgroups}. @end defmac @defmac AC_MODE_T @maindex MODE_T @vindex mode_t If @code{mode_t} is not defined in @file{sys/types.h}, define @code{mode_t} to be @code{int}. @end defmac @defmac AC_OFF_T @maindex OFF_T @vindex off_t If @code{off_t} is not defined in @file{sys/types.h}, define @code{off_t} to be @code{long}. @end defmac @defmac AC_PID_T @maindex PID_T @vindex pid_t If @code{pid_t} is not defined in @file{sys/types.h}, define @code{pid_t} to be @code{int}. @end defmac @defmac AC_RETSIGTYPE @maindex RETSIGTYPE @vindex RETSIGTYPE If @file{signal.h} declares @code{signal} as returning a pointer to a function returning @code{void}, define @code{RETSIGTYPE} to be @code{void}; otherwise, define it to be @code{int}. Define signal handlers as returning type @code{RETSIGTYPE}: @example @group RETSIGTYPE hup_handler () @{ @dots{} @} @end group @end example @end defmac @defmac AC_SIZE_T @maindex SIZE_T @vindex size_t If @code{size_t} is not defined in @file{sys/types.h}, define @code{size_t} to be @code{unsigned}. @end defmac @defmac AC_UID_T @maindex UID_T @vindex uid_t @vindex gid_t If @code{uid_t} is not defined in @file{sys/types.h}, define @code{uid_t} to be @code{int} and @code{gid_t} to be @code{int}. @end defmac @node Library Functions, Structures, Typedefs, Specific Tests @section Library Functions The following macros check for particular C library functions: @defmac AC_ALLOCA @maindex ALLOCA @vindex C_ALLOCA @vindex HAVE_ALLOCA_H Check how to get @code{alloca}. Tries to get a builtin version by checking for @file{alloca.h} or the predefined C preprocessor macros @code{__GNUC__} and @code{_AIX}. If that fails, it looks for a function in the standard C library. If that fails, it sets the @code{make} variable @code{ALLOCA} to @samp{alloca.o} and defines @code{C_ALLOCA} (so programs can periodically call @samp{alloca(0)} to garbage collect). This variable is separate from @code{LIBOBJS} so multiple programs can share the value of @code{ALLOCA} without needing to create an actual library, in case only some of them use the code in @code{LIBOBJS}. If this macro finds @file{alloca.h}, it defines @code{HAVE_ALLOCA_H}. This macro does not try to get @code{alloca} from the SVR3 @file{libPW} or the SVR4 @file{libucb} because those libraries contain some incompatible functions that cause trouble. Some versions do not even contain @code{alloca} or contain a buggy version. If you still want to use their @code{alloca}, use @code{ar} to extract @file{alloca.o} from them instead of compiling @file{alloca.c}. Source files that use @code{alloca} should start with a piece of code like the following, to declare it properly. Note that in some versions of AIX, the declaration of @code{alloca} must precede everything else except for comments and preprocessor directives. The @code{#pragma} directive is indented so that pre-ANSI C compilers will ignore it, rather than choke on it. @example @group /* AIX requires this to be the first thing in the file. */ #ifdef __GNUC__ #define alloca __builtin_alloca #else /* not __GNUC__ */ #if HAVE_ALLOCA_H #include #else /* not HAVE_ALLOCA_H */ #ifdef _AIX #pragma alloca #else /* not _AIX */ char *alloca (); #endif /* not _AIX */ #endif /* not HAVE_ALLOCA_H */ #endif /* not __GNUC__ */ @end group @end example @end defmac @defmac AC_GETLOADAVG @maindex GETLOADAVG @vindex SVR4 @vindex DGUX @vindex UMAX @vindex UMAX4_3 @vindex NLIST_STRUCT @vindex NLIST_NAME_UNION @vindex GETLODAVG_PRIVILEGED @vindex NEED_SETGID Check how to get the system load averages. If the system has the @code{getloadavg} function, this macro defines @code{HAVE_GETLOADAVG}, and adds to @code{LIBS} any libraries needed to get that function. Otherwise, it adds @samp{getloadavg.o} to the @code{make} variable @code{LIBOBJS}, and possibly defines several other C preprocessor macros and @code{make} variables: @enumerate @item It defines @code{SVR4}, @code{DGUX}, @code{UMAX}, or @code{UMAX4_3} if on those systems. @item If it finds @file{nlist.h}, it defines @code{NLIST_STRUCT}. @item If @samp{struct nlist} has an @samp{n_un} member, it defines @code{NLIST_NAME_UNION}. @item If compiling @file{getloadavg.c} defines @code{LDAV_PRIVILEGED}, programs need to be installed specially on this system for @code{getloadavg} to work, and this macro defines @code{GETLOADAVG_PRIVILEGED}. @item This macro always defines @code{NEED_SETGID}, for @code{make}. The value is @samp{true} if special installation is required, @samp{false} if not.

On some older systems, @file{sys/time.h} includes @file{time.h}, but @file{time.h} is not protected against multiple inclusion, so programs should not explicitly include both files.

Some C compilers that do not define @code{__STDC__} do support @code{const}; some compilers that define @code{__STDC__} do not completely support @code{const}. Programs can simply use @code{const} as if every C compiler supported it; for those that don't, the @file{Makefile} or configuration header file will define it as empty. (If using a configuration header file, the program should include it before any other header files, to prevent inconsistencies in declarations.) @end defmac @defmac AC_INLINE @maindex INLINE @vindex inline If the C compiler is a version of GCC that supports the keyword @code{__inline} but not @code{inline} (such as some NeXT versions), define @code{inline} to be @code{__inline}.

Try first by running @code{xmkmf} on a trivial @file{Imakefile} and examining the @file{Makefile} that it produces. If that fails (such as if @code{xmkmf} is not present), look for them in several directories where they often reside. If either method is successful, set the shell variables @code{x_includes} and @code{x_libraries} to their locations, unless they are in directories the compiler searches by default. If both methods fail, or the user gave the command line option @samp{--without-x}, set the shell variable @code{no_x} to @samp{true}; otherwise set it to the empty string.

They all take arguments. When calling these macros, there must not be any blank space between the macro name and the open parentheses. Arguments to these macros can be more than one line long if they are enclosed within the @code{m4} quote characters @samp{[} and @samp{]}. Within each section below, the macros are listed in alphabetical order. These macros are defined in the file @file{acgeneral.m4}. @menu * Setup:: Controlling Autoconf operation. * General Feature Tests:: Checking for kinds of features. * Command Line:: Checking command line arguments. * Setting Variables:: Setting shell and @code{make} variables. * Printing Messages:: Notifying users of progress or problems. * Language Choice:: Selecting which language to use for testing. * Macro Ordering:: Enforcing ordering constraints. @end menu @node Setup, General Feature Tests, , General Purpose Macros @section Controlling Autoconf Setup The following macros control the kind of output that Autoconf produces. @defmac AC_CONFIG_HEADER (@var{header-to-create} @dots{}) @maindex CONFIG_HEADER @vindex HAVE_CONFIG_H Make @code{AC_OUTPUT} create the file(s) in the whitespace-separated list @var{header-to-create} containing C preprocessor @code{#define} statements and replace @samp{@@DEFS@@} in generated files with @samp{-DHAVE_CONFIG_H} instead of the value of @code{DEFS}. This macro should be called right after @code{AC_INIT}. The usual name for @var{header-to-create} is @file{config.h}. If @var{header-to-create} already exists and its contents are identical to what @code{AC_OUTPUT} would put in it, it is left alone. Doing this allows some changes in configuration without needlessly causing object files that depend on the header file to be recompiled. Your distribution should contain a file @file{@var{header-to-create}.in} that looks as you want the final header file to look, including comments, with default values in the @code{#define} statements. A default value can be to @code{#undef} the variable instead of to define it to a value, if your code tests for configuration options using @code{#ifdef} instead of @code{#if}. You can use the program @code{autoheader} to create @file{@var{header-to-create}.in} (@pxref{Invoking autoheader}). @end defmac @defmac AC_INIT (@var{unique-file-in-source-dir}) @maindex INIT Process the command-line arguments and find the source code directory. @var{unique-file-in-source-dir} is some file that is in the package's source directory; @code{configure} checks for this file's existence to make sure that the directory that it is told contains the source code in fact does (@pxref{Invoking configure}, for more information). @end defmac @defmac AC_OUTPUT (@r{[}@var{file}@dots{}@r{] [,}@var{extra-cmds}@r{]}) @maindex OUTPUT Create output files (typically one or more @file{Makefile}s) and @file{config.status}. If @code{AC_CONFIG_HEADER} has been called, also create the header file that was named as its argument. The argument is a whitespace-separated list of files to create; if it is omitted, no files are created. @code{AC_OUTPUT} creates each file @file{@var{file}} in the list by copying @file{@var{file}.in}, substituting the variable values that have been selected by calling @code{AC_SUBST}. It creates the directory that each file is in if it doesn't exist (but not the parents of that directory). A plausible value for the argument to @code{AC_OUTPUT} is @samp{Makefile src/Makefile man/Makefile X/Imakefile}. If you pass @var{extra-cmds}, those commands will be inserted into @file{config.status} to be run after all its other processing. @end defmac @defmac AC_PREPARE (@var{unique-file-in-source-dir}) @maindex PREPARE Find the source code directory and set up shell variables necessary for other Autoconf macros to work. @var{unique-file-in-source-dir} is some file that is in the package's source directory; @code{configure} checks for this file's existence to make sure that the directory that it is told contains the source code in fact does (@pxref{Invoking configure}, for more information). @code{AC_PREPARE} is the last thing done by @code{AC_INIT}. Use @code{AC_PREPARE} instead of @code{AC_INIT} if you want to do argument parsing yourself; never use both. @end defmac @defmac AC_PREREQ (@var{version}) @maindex PREREQ Ensure that a recent enough version of Autoconf is being used. If the version of Autoconf being used to create @code{configure} is earlier than @var{version} (e.g., @samp{1.8}), print an error message on the standard error output and do not create @code{configure}. This macro is useful if your @file{configure.in} relies on non-obvious behavior that changed between Autoconf releases. If it merely needs recently added macros, then @code{AC_PREREQ} is less useful, because the @code{autoconf} program already tells the user which macros are not found. The same thing happens if @file{configure.in} is processed by a version of Autoconf older than when @code{AC_PREREQ} was added. @end defmac @defmac AC_REVISION (@var{revision-info}) @maindex REVISION Copy revision stamp @var{revision-info} into the @file{configure} script, with any dollar signs or double-quotes removed. This macro lets you put a revision stamp from @file{configure.in} into @file{configure} without RCS or CVS changing it when you check in @file{configure}. That way, you can determine easily which revision of @file{configure.in} a particular @file{configure} corresponds to. It is a good idea to call this macro before @code{AC_INIT} so that the revision number is near the top of both @file{configure.in} and @file{configure}. To support doing that, the @code{AC_REVISION} output begins with @samp{#!/bin/sh}, like the normal start of a @file{configure} script does. For example, this line in @file{configure.in}: @example AC_REVISION($@asis{Revision: 1.30 }$)dnl @end example @noindent produces this in @file{configure}: @example #!/bin/sh # From configure.in Revision: 1.30 @end example @end defmac @node General Feature Tests, Command Line, Setup, General Purpose Macros @section Checking for Kinds of Features These macros are templates that, when called with actual parameters, check for various kinds of features. Many of these macros handle two cases: what to do if the given condition is met, and what to do if the condition is not met. In some places you you might want to do something if a condition is true but do nothing if it's false, or vice versa. To omit the true case, pass an empty value for the @var{action-if-found} argument to the macro. To omit the false case, omit the @var{action-if-not-found} argument to the macro, including the comma before it. One shell programming construction that you should not use in the action arguments to these macros is @samp{@var{var}=$@{@var{var}:-@var{value}@}}. Old BSD shells, including the Ultrix @code{sh}, don't understand the colon, and complain and die. If you omit the colon, it works fine: @samp{@var{var}=$@{@var{var}-@var{value}@}}. Using the form without the colon has one small disadvantage. Users can not select a default value by giving a variable an empty value, e.g., @samp{CC= configure}. Instead, they must unset the variable, e.g., @samp{unset CC; configure}. @xref{Writing Macros}, for more information on how best to use these macros. @defmac AC_COMPILE_CHECK (@var{echo-text}, @var{includes}, @var{function-body}, @var{action-if-found} @r{[}, @var{action-if-not-found}@r{]}) @maindex COMPILE_CHECK Print @samp{checking for @var{echo-text}} to the standard output (using @code{AC_CHECKING}, @pxref{Printing Messages}). Create a test C program to see whether a function whose body consists of @var{function-body} can be compiled and linked; @var{includes} is any @code{#include} statements needed by the code in @var{function-body}.

If @var{action-if-found} and @var{action-if-not-found} are not specified, the default action is to add @samp{-lfoo} to @code{LIBS} and define @samp{HAVE_LIBfoo} for library @samp{foo}. @var{library} can be written as any of @samp{foo}, @samp{-lfoo}, or @samp{libfoo.a}.

If @samp{type} is unknown to the compiler, gets a size of 0. @var{uctype} is @var{type}, with lowercase converted to uppercase, spaces changed to underscores, and asterisks changed to @samp{P}.

If that argument is given, this macro calls @code{AC_CROSS_CHECK} if it has not already been called (@pxref{Compiler Characteristics}). @end defmac @defmac AC_TEST_CPP (@var{includes}, @var{action-if-true} @r{[}, @var{action-if-false}@r{]}) @maindex TEST_CPP @var{includes} is C or C++ @code{#include} statements and declarations, on which shell variable and backquote substitutions are performed. (Actually, it can be any C program, but other statements are probably not useful.) If the preprocessor produces no error messages while processing it, run shell commands @var{action-if-true}. Otherwise run shell commands @var{action-if-false}. This macro calls @code{AC_PROG_CPP} or @code{AC_PROG_CXXCPP} (depending on which language is current, @pxref{Language Choice}), if it hasn't been called already. @end defmac @node Command Line, Setting Variables, General Feature Tests, General Purpose Macros @section Checking Command Line Arguments These macros check whether the user gave @code{configure} various command line arguments. Like the general feature tests (@pxref{General Feature Tests}), they may take an argument to use if the argument was given and one for if it was not given. @defmac AC_ENABLE (@var{feature}, @var{action-if-true} @r{[}, @var{action-if-false}@r{]}) @maindex ENABLE If the user gave @code{configure} the option @samp{--enable-@var{feature}} or @samp{--disable-@var{feature}}, run shell commands @var{action-if-true}. Otherwise run shell commands @var{action-if-false}. The name @var{feature} should consist only of alphanumeric characters and dashes. The @var{feature} indicates an optional user-level facility. This option allows users to choose which optional features to build and install. @samp{--enable-@var{feature}} options should never make a feature behave differently or cause one feature to replace another. They should only cause parts of the program to be built rather than left out. The user can give an argument by following the feature name with @samp{=} and the argument. Giving an argument of @samp{no} indicates that the feature is @emph{not} available. A feature with an argument looks like @samp{--enable-debug=stabs}. The argument is available to the shell commands @var{action-if-true} in the shell variable @code{enableval}. If no argument was given to @samp{--enable-@var{feature}}, @code{enableval} is @samp{yes}. @samp{--disable-@var{feature}} is equivalent to @samp{--enable-@var{feature}=no}. At present, arguments containing blanks are not handled correctly; if you need an argument to contain a list, require the items to be separated by commas instead. (This restriction might disappear in the future.) @end defmac @defmac AC_PREFIX (@var{program}) @maindex PREFIX If the user did not specify an installation prefix (using the @samp{--prefix} option), guess a value for it by looking for @var{program} in @code{PATH}, the way the shell does. If @var{program} is found, set the prefix to the parent of the directory containing @var{program}; otherwise leave the prefix specified in @file{Makefile.in} unchanged. For example, if @var{program} is @code{gcc} and the @code{PATH} contains @file{/usr/local/gnu/bin/gcc}, set the prefix to @file{/usr/local/gnu}. @end defmac @defmac AC_WITH (@var{package}, @var{action-if-true} @r{[}, @var{action-if-false}@r{]}) @maindex WITH If the user gave @code{configure} the option @samp{--with-@var{package}} or @samp{--without-@var{package}}, run shell commands @var{action-if-true}. Otherwise run shell commands @var{action-if-false}. The name @var{package} should consist only of alphanumeric characters and dashes. The @var{package} indicates another software package that this program should work with. For example, @samp{--with-gnu-ld} means work with the GNU linker instead of some other linker. @samp{--with-x11} means work with X11. The user can give an argument by following the package name with @samp{=} and the argument. Giving an argument of @samp{no} is for packages that would be used by default; it says to @emph{not} use the package. An argument that is neither @samp{yes} nor @samp{no} could include a name or number of a version of the other package, to specify more precisely which other package this program is supposed to work with. The argument is available to the shell commands @var{action-if-true} in the shell variable @code{withval}. If no argument was given to @samp{--with-@var{package}}, @code{withval} is @samp{yes}. @samp{--without-@var{package}} is equivalent to @samp{--with-@var{package}=no}. At present, arguments containing blanks are not handled correctly; if you need an argument to contain a list, require the items to be separated by commas instead. (This restriction might disappear in the future.) @end defmac @node Setting Variables, Printing Messages, Command Line, General Purpose Macros @section Setting Variables These macros help other macros to define shell and @code{make} variables. @defmac AC_DEFINE (@var{variable} @r{[}, @var{value}@r{]}) @maindex DEFINE Define C preprocessor variable @var{variable}. If @var{value} is given, set @var{variable} to that value, otherwise set it to 1. To use a shell variable as the value, use @code{AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED} instead and precede double quotes in the value with backslashes. This macro adds to the shell variable @code{DEFS}. @code{AC_OUTPUT} later substitutes the values in @code{DEFS} into the file(s) that it generates (typically @file{Makefile}). Alternately, if @code{AC_CONFIG_HEADER} has been called, @code{AC_OUTPUT} creates a header file by substituting the correct values into @code{#define} statements in a template file. For example, suppose your @file{configure.in} calls @code{AC_CONFIG_HEADER(conf.h)} and @code{AC_HAVE_HEADERS(unistd.h)}. You could have code like this in @file{conf.h.in}: @example @group /* Define as 1 if you have unistd.h. */ #define HAVE_UNISTD_H 0 @end group @end example On systems that have @file{unistd.h}, @code{configure} will change the 0 to a 1. On other systems, it will leave the line unchanged. Alternately, if you prefer to use @code{#ifdef}, your @file{conf.h.in} could have code like this: @example @group /* Define if you have unistd.h. */ #undef HAVE_UNISTD_H @end group @end example On systems that have @file{unistd.h}, @code{configure} will change the second line to read @samp{#define HAVE_UNISTD_H 1}. On other systems, it will comment that line out (in case the system predefines that symbol). Due to the syntactical bizarreness of the Bourne shell, do not use semicolons to separate @code{AC_DEFINE} calls from other macro calls or shell code; that can cause syntax errors in the resulting @code{configure} script. Use either spaces or newlines. That is, do this: @example AC_HEADER_CHECK(elf.h, AC_DEFINE(SVR4) LIBS="$LIBS -lelf") @end example @noindent or this: @example AC_HEADER_CHECK(elf.h, AC_DEFINE(SVR4) LIBS="$LIBS -lelf") @end example @noindent instead of this: @example AC_HEADER_CHECK(elf.h, AC_DEFINE(SVR4); LIBS="$LIBS -lelf") @end example @end defmac @defmac AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED (@var{variable} @r{[}, @var{value}@r{]}) @maindex DEFINE_UNQUOTED Like @code{AC_DEFINE}, but it does nothing to quote @var{value} from various shell and @code{sed} expansions it will undergo. @var{value} will be used in many different contexts requiring different quoting, and it is up to you to make sure it works right. Use this macro instead of @code{AC_DEFINE} when @var{value} contains a shell variable. For example: @example AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(config_machfile, $@{machfile@}) @end example @end defmac @defmac AC_SUBST (@var{variable}) @maindex SUBST Substitute the variable @var{variable} when creating the output files (typically one or more @file{Makefile}s). This means replace instances of @samp{@@@var{variable}@@}, e.g. in @file{Makefile.in}, with the current value of the shell variable @var{variable}. If this macro were not called, the value of @var{variable} would not be set in the output files, even though @code{configure} had figured out a value for it. You can set or add to the value of @var{variable} in the usual shell way. For example, to add @samp{-ltermcap} to the value of the variable @code{LIBS}: @example LIBS="$LIBS -ltermcap" @end example @end defmac @node Printing Messages, Language Choice, Setting Variables, General Purpose Macros @section Printing Messages @code{configure} scripts need to give users running them several kinds of information. The following macros print messages in ways appropriate for different kinds of information. The arguments to all of them get enclosed in shell double quotes, so the shell performs variable and backquote substitution on them. These macros are all wrappers around the @code{echo} shell command. Other macros should rarely need to run @code{echo} directly to print messages for the @code{configure} user. Using these macros makes it easy to change how and when each kind of message is printed; such changes need only be made to the macro definitions, and all of the callers change automatically. @defmac AC_CHECKING (@var{feature-description}) @maindex CHECKING Notify the user that @code{configure} is checking for a particular feature. This macro prints a message that starts with @samp{checking }. It prints nothing if @code{configure} is run with the @samp{--silent} or @samp{--quiet} option. The @var{feature-description} should be something like @samp{whether the Fortran compiler accepts C++ comments} or @samp{for c89}. @end defmac @defmac AC_ERROR (@var{error-description}) @maindex ERROR Notify the user of an error that prevents @code{configure} from completing. This macro prints an error message on the standard error stream and exits @code{configure} with a nonzero status. @var{error-description} should be something like @samp{invalid value $HOME for \$HOME}. @end defmac @defmac AC_VERBOSE (@var{result-description}) @maindex VERBOSE Notify the user of the results of a check. This information is only printed if @code{configure} is run with the @samp{--verbose} option. @var{result-description} should be something like @samp{setting ADA to $ADA}. @end defmac @defmac AC_WARN (@var{problem-description}) @maindex WARN Notify the @code{configure} user of a possible problem. This macro prints the message on the standard error stream; @code{configure} continues running afterward, so macros that call @code{AC_WARN} should provide a default (back-up) behavior for the situations they warn about. @var{problem-description} should be something like @samp{ln -s seems to make hard links}. @end defmac @node Language Choice, Macro Ordering, Printing Messages, General Purpose Macros @section Language Choice Packages that use both C and C++ need to test features of both compilers. Autoconf-generated @code{configure} scripts check for C features by default.

Do not call this macro more times than @code{AC_LANG_SAVE}. @end defmac @defmac AC_LANG_SAVE @maindex LANG_SAVE Remember the current language (as set by @code{AC_LANG_C} or @code{AC_LANG_CPLUSPLUS}) on a stack.

The macro @var{called-macro-name} must contain a call to @code{AC_PROVIDE} to indicate that it has been called. This macro should be used when one macro makes changes that might affect another macro, so that the other macro should probably not be called first. For example, @code{AC_PROG_CPP} checks whether the C compiler can run the C preprocessor when given the @samp{-E} option. It should therefore be called after any macros that change which C compiler is being used, such as @code{AC_PROG_CC}. So @code{AC_PROG_CC} contains: @example AC_BEFORE([$0], [AC_PROG_CPP]) @end example @noindent This warns the user if a call to @code{AC_PROG_CPP} has already occurred when @code{AC_PROG_CC} is called. @end defmac @defmac AC_OBSOLETE (@var{this-macro-name} @r{[}, @var{suggestion}@r{]}) @maindex OBSOLETE Make @code{m4} print a message on the standard error output warning that @var{this-macro-name} is obsolete, and giving the file and line number where it was called. @var{this-macro-name} should be the name of the macro that is calling @code{AC_BEFORE}. If @var{suggestion} is given, it is printed at the end of the warning message; for example, it can be a suggestion for what to use instead of @var{this-macro-name}. A sample call is: @example AC_OBSOLETE([$0], [; use AC_HAVE_HEADERS(unistd.h) instead]) @end example @end defmac @defmac AC_PROVIDE (@var{macro-name}) @maindex PROVIDE Set a flag recording that @var{macro-name} has been called.

Macros that need some other macro to be called before they are called can use @code{AC_REQUIRE} to ensure that it has been, in case the person who made @file{configure.in} forgot or didn't know to do it. @code{AC_REQUIRE} and @code{AC_PROVIDE} together can ensure that a macro is only called if it is needed, and only called once. @xref{Dependencies Between Macros}, for more information. @end defmac @node Writing Macros, Makefiles, General Purpose Macros, Top @chapter Writing Macros If your package needs to test for some feature that none of the macros supplied with Autoconf handles, you'll need to write one or more new Autoconf macros. Here are some suggestions and some of the rationale behind why the existing macros are written the way they are. You can also learn a lot about how to write Autoconf macros by looking at the existing ones. If something goes wrong in one or more of the Autoconf tests, this information can help you understand why they work the way they do and the assumptions behind them, which might help you figure out how to best solve the problem. If you add macros that you think would be useful to other people, or find problems with the distributed macros, please send electronic mail to @file{bug-gnu-utils@@prep.ai.mit.edu}, so we can consider them for future releases of Autoconf.

Their overall structure looks like this: @example define(@var{macro-name}, [@var{macro-body}])dnl @end example @noindent The square brackets here do not indicate optional text: they should literally be present in the macro definition. All of the Autoconf macros have names starting with @samp{AC_} to prevent them from accidentally conflicting with other text. All shell variables that they use for internal purposes have names starting with @samp{ac_}. To ensure that your macros don't conflict with present or future Autoconf macros, you should prefix your own macro names and any shell variables they use with some other sequence. Possibilities include your initials, or an abbreviation for the name of your organization or software package. The @code{m4} builtin @code{dnl} prevents a newline from being inserted in the output where the macro is defined; without it, the generated @code{configure} script would begin with dozens of blank lines. @code{dnl} is also used to introduce comments in @code{m4}; it causes @code{m4} to discard the rest of the input line. You should quote the entire macro body with square brackets to avoid macro expansion problems (@pxref{Quoting}). You can refer to any arguments passed to the macro as @samp{$1}, @samp{$2}, etc. @xref{Definitions, , How to define new macros, m4.info, GNU m4}, for more complete information on writing @code{m4} macros. @node Quoting, Dependencies Between Macros, Macro Format, Writing Macros @section Quoting Macros that are called by other macros are evaluated by @code{m4} several times; each evaluation might require another layer of quotes to prevent unwanted expansions of macros or @code{m4} builtins, such as @samp{define} and @samp{$1}. Quotes are also required around macro arguments that contain commas, since commas separate the arguments from each other. Autoconf (in @file{acgeneral.m4}) changes the @code{m4} quote characters from the default @samp{`} and @samp{'} to @samp{[} and @samp{]}, because many of the macros use @samp{`} and @samp{'}, mismatched. However, in a few places the macros need to use brackets. In those places, they use the @code{m4} builtin command @code{changequote} to temporarily disable quoting before the code that uses brackets, like this: @example changequote(,)dnl @end example @noindent Then they turn quoting back on again with another call to @code{changequote}: @example changequote([,])dnl @end example When you create a @code{configure} script using newly written macros, examine it carefully to check whether you need to add more quotes in your macros. If one or more words have disappeared in the @code{m4} output, you need more quotes. When in doubt, quote. However, it's also possible to put on too many layers of quotes. If this happens, the resulting @code{configure} script will contain unexpanded macros. The @code{autoconf} program checks for this problem by doing @samp{grep AC_ configure}. @node Dependencies Between Macros, Checking for Files, Quoting, Writing Macros @section Dependencies Between Macros Some Autoconf macros depend on other macros having been called first in order to work correctly. Autoconf provides a way to ensure that certain macros are called if needed and a way to warn the user if macros are called in an order that might cause incorrect operation. @menu * Prerequisite Macros:: Ensuring required information. * Suggested Ordering:: Warning about possible ordering problems. @end menu @node Prerequisite Macros, Suggested Ordering, , Dependencies Between Macros @subsection Prerequisite Macros A macro that you write might need to use values that have previously been computed by other macros. For example, if you write a new macro that uses the C preprocessor, it depends on @code{AC_PROG_CPP} having been called first to set the shell variable @code{CPP} (@pxref{Alternative Programs}). Rather than forcing the user of the macros to keep track of all of the dependencies between them, you can use the macros @code{AC_PROVIDE} and @code{AC_REQUIRE} to do it automatically. @xref{Macro Ordering}, for more information on their syntax. The new macro that runs the C preprocessor should contain, somewhere before @code{CPP} is used, the statement @example AC_REQUIRE([AC_PROG_CPP]) @end example @noindent and the macro @code{AC_PROG_CPP} should contain the statement (anywhere in its body) @example AC_PROVIDE([$0]) @end example @noindent Then, when the new macro is run, it will invoke @code{AC_PROG_CPP} if and only if @code{AC_PROG_CPP} has not already been run. @node Suggested Ordering, , Prerequisite Macros, Dependencies Between Macros @subsection Suggested Ordering Some macros should be run before another macro if both are called, but neither requires the other to be called. For example, a macro like @code{AC_AIX} that changes the behavior of the C compiler (@pxref{UNIX Variants}) should be called before any macros that run the C compiler. Many of these dependencies are noted in the documentation. Autoconf provides a way to warn users when macros with this kind of dependency appear out of order in a @file{configure.in} file. The warning occurs when creating @file{configure} from @file{configure.in}, not when running @file{configure}. It is not a fatal error; @file{configure} is created as usual. The @code{AC_BEFORE} macro causes @code{m4} to print a warning message on the standard error output when a macro is used before another macro which might change its behavior. The macro which should come first should contain a call to @code{AC_BEFORE} and the macro which should come later should contain a call to @code{AC_PROVIDE}. For example, @code{AC_AIX} contains @example AC_BEFORE([$0], [AC_COMPILE_CHECK]) @end example @noindent and @code{AC_COMPILE_CHECK} contains @example AC_PROVIDE([$0]) @end example @noindent As a result, if @code{AC_AIX} is called after @code{AC_COMPILE_CHECK}, it will note that @code{AC_COMPILE_CHECK} has already been called and print a warning message. @node Checking for Files, Checking for Symbols, Dependencies Between Macros, Writing Macros @section Checking for Files If you need to check whether a file other than a C header file exists, use @samp{test -f @var{filename}}. If you need to make multiple checks using @code{test}, combine them with the shell operators @samp{&&} and @samp{||} instead of using the @code{test} operators @samp{-a} and @samp{-o}. On System V, the precedence of @samp{-a} and @samp{-o} is wrong relative to the unary operators; consequently, POSIX does not specify them, so using them is nonportable. If you combine @samp{&&} and @samp{||} in the same statement, keep in mind that they have equal precedence. Do not use @samp{test -x}, because 4.3BSD does not have it. Use @samp{test -f} or @samp{test -r} instead. @node Checking for Symbols, Test Programs, Checking for Files, Writing Macros @section Checking for Symbols If you need to check whether a symbol is defined in a C header file, you can use @code{AC_HEADER_EGREP} if the symbol is not a C preprocessor macro (@pxref{General Feature Tests}), or compile a small test program that includes the file and references the symbol (@pxref{Test Programs}). Don't directly @code{grep} for the symbol in the file, because on some systems it might be defined in another header file that the file you are checking @samp{#include}s. However, if you need to check for a particular UNIX variant which is distinguished by having certain text in a certain file, then use @code{grep} (or @code{egrep}). But don't use @samp{grep -s} to suppress output, because @samp{grep -s} on System V does not suppress output, only error messages. Instead, redirect the standard output and standard error (in case the file doesn't exist) of @code{grep} to @file{/dev/null}. Check the exit status of @code{grep} to determine whether it found a match. To check whether the Autoconf macros have already defined a certain C preprocessor symbol, you can use a @code{case} statement like this: @example case "$DEFS" in *HAVE_FOO*) ;; *) LIBOBJS="$LIBOBJS foo.o" ;; esac @end example @noindent Make sure to enclose the variable name you are checking (usually @code{DEFS}) in double quotes, because otherwise some old versions of @code{bash} misinterpret the statement. @node Test Programs, Multiple Cases, Checking for Symbols, Writing Macros @section Test Programs Autoconf checks for many features by compiling small test programs. To find out whether a library function is available, Autoconf tries to compile a small program that uses it. This is unlike Larry Wall's Metaconfig, which uses @code{nm} or @code{ar} on the C library to try to figure out which functions are available. Trying to link with the function is usually a more reliable and flexible approach because it avoids dealing with the variations in the options and output formats of @code{nm} and @code{ar} and in the location of the standard libraries. It also allows @code{configure} to check aspects of the function's runtime behavior if needed. On the other hand, it is sometimes slower than scanning the libraries. If you need to check for a condition other than whether some symbol exists on the system or has a certain value, then you can't use @code{AC_COMPILE_CHECK} (@pxref{General Feature Tests}). You have to write a test program by hand. You can compile and run it using @code{AC_TEST_PROGRAM} (@pxref{General Feature Tests}). Try to avoid writing test programs if possible, because using them prevents people from configuring your package for cross-compiling. If it's really best that you test for a run-time behavior, try to provide a default ``worst case'' value to use when cross-compiling makes run-time tests impossible. You do this by passing the optional last argument to @code{AC_TEST_PROGRAM}. @menu * Guidelines:: General rules for writing test programs. * Tricks:: Special ways to work around problems. @end menu @node Guidelines, Tricks, , Test Programs @subsection Guidelines for Test Programs Test programs should return 0 if the test succeeds, nonzero otherwise, so that success can be distinguished easily from a core dump or other failure; segmentation violations and other failures produce a nonzero exit status. Test programs should @code{exit}, not @code{return}, from @code{main}, because on some systems the argument to @code{return} in @code{main} is ignored. They should not write anything to the standard output. Test programs can use @code{#if} or @code{#ifdef} to check the values of preprocessor macros defined by tests that have already run. For example, if you call @code{AC_STDC_HEADERS}, then later on in @file{configure.in} you can have a test program that includes an ANSI C header file conditionally: @example @group #if STDC_HEADERS #include #endif @end group @end example If a test program needs to use or create a data file, give it a name that starts with @file{conftest}, such as @file{conftestdata}. The @code{configure} script cleans up by running @samp{rm -rf conftest*} after running test programs and if the script is interrupted. @node Tricks, , Guidelines, Test Programs @subsection Tricks for Test Programs If a test program calls a function with invalid parameters (just to see whether it exists), organize the program to ensure that it never invokes that function. You can do this by calling it in another function that is never invoked. You can't do it by putting it after a call to @code{exit}, because GCC version 2 knows that @code{exit} never returns and optimizes out any code that follows it in the same block. If you include any header files, make sure to call the functions relevant to them with the correct number of arguments, even if they are just 0, to avoid compilation errors due to prototypes. GCC version 2 has internal prototypes for several functions that it automatically inlines; for example, @code{memcpy}. To avoid errors when checking for them, either pass them the correct number of arguments or redeclare them with a different return type (such as @code{char}). @node Multiple Cases, , Test Programs, Writing Macros @section Multiple Cases Some operations are accomplished in several possible ways, depending on the UNIX variant. Checking for them essentially requires a ``case statement''. Autoconf does not directly provide one; however, it is easy to simulate by using a shell variable to keep track of whether a way to perform the operation has been found yet. Here is an example excerpted from the @file{configure.in} for GNU @code{find}. It uses the shell variable @code{fstype} to keep track of whether the remaining cases need to be checked. There are several more cases which are not shown here but follow the same pattern. @example @group echo checking how to get filesystem type # SVR4. AC_TEST_CPP([#include #include ], AC_DEFINE(FSTYPE_STATVFS) fstype=1) if test -z "$fstype"; then # SVR3. AC_TEST_CPP([#include #include ], AC_DEFINE(FSTYPE_USG_STATFS) fstype=1) fi if test -z "$fstype"; then # AIX. AC_TEST_CPP([#include #include ], AC_DEFINE(FSTYPE_AIX_STATFS) fstype=1) fi @end group @end example @node Makefiles, Invoking configure, Writing Macros, Top @chapter Makefiles Each subdirectory in a distribution should come with a file @file{Makefile.in}, from which @code{configure} will produce a @file{Makefile} in that directory. Most of the substitutions that @code{configure} does are simple: for each configuration variable that the package uses, it just replaces occurrences of @samp{@@@var{variable}@@} with the value that @code{configure} has determined for that variable. Any occurrences of @samp{@@@var{variable}@@} for variables that @code{configure} does not know about are passed through unchanged. There is no point in checking for the correct value to give a variable that is never used. Every variable that the @code{configure} script might set a value for should appear in a @samp{@@@var{variable}@@} reference in at least one @file{Makefile.in}. If @code{AC_CONFIG_HEADER} is called, @code{configure} replaces @samp{@@DEFS@@} with @samp{-DHAVE_CONFIG_H}, since the contents of @code{DEFS} would be redundant. @xref{Makefiles, , Makefile Conventions, standards.info, The GNU Coding Standards}, for more information on what to put in Makefiles. @xref{Sample Makefile.in}, for an example of a real @file{Makefile.in}. @menu * Predefined Variables:: Heavily used @code{make} variables. * Installation Prefixes:: A special variable substitution. * VPATH Substitutions:: Compiling in a different directory. * Automatic Remaking:: Makefile rules for configuring. @end menu @node Predefined Variables, Installation Prefixes, , Makefiles @section Predefined Variables Some @code{make} variables are predefined by the Autoconf macros. @code{AC_SUBST} is called for them automatically (@pxref{Setting Variables}), so in your @file{Makefile.in} files you can get their values by enclosing their names in @samp{@@} characters. @ifinfo @xref{Makefiles}, for more information on @samp{@@} substitutions. @end ifinfo The variables that are defined by the general purpose Autoconf macros are: @defvar exec_prefix The installation prefix for architecture-specific files. @end defvar @defvar prefix The installation prefix for architecture-independent files. @xref{Installation Prefixes}, for an alternate way to set this variable. @end defvar @defvar srcdir The directory that contains the source code for that @file{Makefile}. @xref{Installation Prefixes}, for an alternate way to set this variable. @end defvar @defvar top_srcdir The top-level source code directory for the package. In the top-level directory, this is the same as @code{srcdir}. @end defvar @defvar DEFS @samp{-D} options to pass to the C compiler.

Set by @code{AC_REPLACE_FUNCS} (@pxref{General Feature Tests}). @end defvar @node Installation Prefixes, VPATH Substitutions, Predefined Variables, Makefiles @section Installation Prefixes Autoconf-generated @code{configure} scripts support an alternate method for substituting two particular variables, for compatibility with Cygnus @code{configure}. This method is not recommended. If @code{configure} has figured out a value for the installation prefix, either by the user supplying one on the command line (@pxref{Invoking configure}) or with @code{AC_PREFIX} (@pxref{General Feature Tests}), then it substitutes that value in @file{Makefile}s that it creates. Wherever a @file{Makefile.in} contains lines like @example prefix = /usr/local exec_prefix = $@{prefix@} @end example @noindent @code{configure} substitutes the value it figured out. The substitution only occurs if the word @samp{prefix} or @samp{exec_prefix} is not preceded by any other characters on the line, and @code{configure} has figured out a value for the prefix. There can be separate installation prefixes for architecture-specific files (@code{exec_prefix}) and architecture-independent files (@code{prefix}). @xref{Invoking configure}, for more information on setting them. Autoconf @code{configure} scripts replace these two variables without requiring them to be enclosed in @samp{@@} characters, and only if they have been set, because the Cygnus @code{configure} does so. In retrospect, being compatible in this way was a bad decision, because it created an inconsistency in Autoconf without giving significant benefits. This wart will be removed in a future release of Autoconf. @node VPATH Substitutions, Automatic Remaking, Installation Prefixes, Makefiles @section @code{VPATH} Substitutions You might want to compile a software package in a different directory from the one that contains the source code. Doing this allows you to compile the package for several architectures simultaneously from the same copy of the source code and keep multiple sets of object files on disk. To support doing this, @code{make} uses the @code{VPATH} variable to find the files that are in the source directory. GNU @code{make} and most other recent @code{make} programs can do this. Older @code{make} programs do not support @code{VPATH}; when using them, the source code must be in the same directory as the object files. To support @code{VPATH}, each @file{Makefile.in} should contain two lines that look like: @example srcdir = @@srcdir@@ VPATH = @@srcdir@@ @end example Do not set @code{VPATH} to the value of another variable, for example @samp{VPATH = $(srcdir)}, because some versions of @code{make} do not do variable substitutions on the value of @code{VPATH}. @code{configure} substitutes in the correct value for @code{srcdir} when it produces @file{Makefile.in}. Do not use the @code{make} variable @code{$<}, which expands to the pathname of the file in the source directory (found with @code{VPATH}), except in implicit rules. (An implicit rule is one such as @samp{.c.o}, which tells how to create a @file{.o} file from a @file{.c} file.) Some versions of @code{make} do not set @code{$<} in explicit rules; they expand it to an empty value. Instead, @file{Makefile} command lines should always refer to source files by prefixing them with @samp{$(srcdir)/}. For example: @example time.info: time.texinfo $(MAKEINFO) $(srcdir)/time.texinfo @end example @node Automatic Remaking, , VPATH Substitutions, Makefiles @section Automatic Remaking You can put rules like the following in the top-level @file{Makefile.in} for a package to automatically update the configuration information when you change the configuration files. This example includes all of the optional files, such as @file{aclocal.m4} and those related to configuration header files. Omit from the @file{Makefile.in} rules any of these files that your package does not use. The @file{stamp-} files are necessary because the timestamps of @file{config.h.in} and @file{config.h} will not be changed if remaking them does not change their contents. This feature avoids unnecessary recompilation. You should include the file @file{stamp-h.in} your package's distribution, so @code{make} will consider @file{config.h.in} up to date. @example @group configure: configure.in aclocal.m4 cd $@{srcdir@} && autoconf # autoheader might not change config.h.in config.h.in: stamp-h.in stamp-h.in: configure.in aclocal.m4 acconfig.h config.h.top cd $@{srcdir@} && autoheader touch $@{srcdir@}/stamp-h.in # config.status might not change config.h config.h: stamp-h stamp-h: config.h.in config.status ./config.status touch stamp-h Makefile: Makefile.in config.status ./config.status config.status: configure ./config.status --recheck @end group @end example @xref{Invoking config.status}, for more information on handling configuration-related dependencies. @node Invoking configure, Example, Makefiles, Top @chapter Running @code{configure} Scripts A software package that uses a @code{configure} script should be distributed with a file @file{Makefile.in}, but no @file{Makefile}; that way, the user has to properly configure the package for the local system before compiling it. Here is how to configure a package that uses a @code{configure} script. Normally, you just @code{cd} to the directory containing the package's source code and type @samp{./configure}. If you're using @code{csh} on an old version of System V, you might need to type @samp{sh configure} instead to prevent @code{csh} from trying to execute @code{configure} itself. Running @code{configure} takes awhile. While it is running, it prints some messages that tell what it is doing. If you don't want to see any messages, run @code{configure} with its standard output redirected to @file{/dev/null}; for example, @samp{./configure >/dev/null}. To compile the package in a different directory from the one containing the source code, you must use a version of @code{make} that supports the @code{VPATH} variable, such as GNU @code{make}. @code{cd} to the directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run the @code{configure} script. @code{configure} automatically checks for the source code in the directory that @code{configure} is in and in @file{..}. If for some reason @code{configure} is not in the source code directory that you are configuring, then it will report that it can't find the source code. In that case, run @code{configure} with the option @samp{--srcdir=@var{dir}}, where @var{dir} is the directory that contains the source code. By default, @samp{make install} will install the package's files in @file{/usr/local/bin}, @file{/usr/local/man}, etc. You can specify an installation prefix other than @file{/usr/local} by giving @code{configure} the option @samp{--prefix=@var{path}}. Alternately, you can do so by consistently giving a value for the @samp{prefix} variable when you run @code{make}, e.g., @example make prefix=/usr/gnu make prefix=/usr/gnu install @end example You can specify separate installation prefixes for architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you give @code{configure} the option @samp{--exec-prefix=@var{path}} or set the @code{make} variable @samp{exec_prefix} to @var{path}, the package will use @var{path} as the prefix for installing programs and libraries. Data files and documentation will still use the regular prefix. Normally, all files are installed using the same prefix. Some packages pay attention to @samp{--with-@var{package}} options to @code{configure}, where @var{package} is something like @samp{gnu-as} or @samp{x} (for the X Window System). They may also pay attention to @samp{--enable-@var{feature}} options, where @var{feature} indicates an optional part of the package. The README should mention any @samp{--with-} and @samp{--enable-} options that the package recognizes. @code{configure} also recognizes the following options: @table @code @item --help Print a summary of the options to @code{configure}, and exit. @itemx --quiet @item --silent Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. @item --verbose Print the results of the checks. @item --version Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the @code{configure} script, and exit. @item --x-includes=@var{dir} X include files are in @var{dir}. @item --x-libraries=@var{dir} X library files are in @var{dir}. @end table @code{configure} also accepts and ignores some other options. @menu * Overriding variables:: Workarounds for unusual systems. * Invoking config.status:: Recreating a configuration. @end menu @node Overriding variables, Invoking config.status, , Invoking configure @section Overriding variables On systems that require unusual options for compilation or linking that the package's @code{configure} script does not know about, you can give @code{configure} initial values for variables by setting them in the environment. In Bourne-compatible shells, you can do that on the command line like this: @example CC='gcc -traditional' LIBS=-lposix ./configure @end example @noindent On systems that have the @code{env} program, you can do it like this: @example env CC='gcc -traditional' LIBS=-lposix ./configure @end example Here are the @code{make} variables that you might want to override with environment variables when running @code{configure}. For these variables, any value given in the environment overrides the value that @code{configure} would choose: @defvar CC C compiler program. The default is @code{cc}. @end defvar @defvar INSTALL Program to use to install files. The default is @code{install} if you have it, @code{cp} otherwise. @end defvar For these variables, any value given in the environment is added to the value that @code{configure} chooses: @defvar DEFS Configuration options, in the form @samp{-Dfoo -Dbar@dots{}}. Do not use this variable in packages that create a configuration header file. @end defvar @defvar LIBS Libraries to link with, in the form @samp{-lfoo -lbar@dots{}}. @end defvar In the long term, most problems requiring manual intervention should be fixed by updating either the Autoconf macros or the @file{configure.in} file for that package. @xref{Making configure Scripts}, for a discussion of that subject. @node Invoking config.status, , Overriding variables, Invoking configure @section Recreating a Configuration The @code{configure} script creates a file named @file{config.status} which describes which configuration options were specified when the package was last configured. This file is a shell script which, if run, will recreate the same configuration. You can give @file{config.status} the @samp{--recheck} option to update itself. This option is useful if you change @code{configure}, so that the results of some tests might be different from the previous run. The @samp{--recheck} option re-runs @code{configure} with the same arguments you used before, plus the @samp{--no-create} option, which prevents @code{configure} from running @file{config.status} and creating @file{Makefile} and other files. (This is so other @file{Makefile} rules can run @file{config.status} when it changes; @pxref{Automatic Remaking}, for an example). @file{config.status} also accepts the options @samp{--help}, which prints a summary of the options to @file{config.status}, and @samp{--version}, which prints the version of Autoconf used to create the @code{configure} script that generated @file{config.status}. @file{config.status} checks several optional environment variables that can alter its behavior: @defvar CONFIG_SHELL The shell with which to run @code{configure} for the @samp{--recheck} option. The default is @file{/bin/sh}. @end defvar The following two variables provide one way for separately distributed packages to share the values computed by @code{configure}. Doing so can be useful if some of the packages need a superset of the features that one of them, perhaps a common library, does. These variables allow a @file{config.status} file to create files other than the ones that its @file{configure.in} specifies, so it can be used for a different package. @defvar CONFIG_FILES The files in which to perform @samp{@@@var{variable}@@} substitutions. The default is the arguments given to @code{AC_OUTPUT} in @file{configure.in}. @end defvar @defvar CONFIG_HEADERS The files in which to substitute C @code{#define} statements. The default is the arguments given to @code{AC_CONFIG_HEADER}; if that macro was not called, @file{config.status} ignores this variable. @end defvar These variables also allow you to write @file{Makefile} rules that regenerate only some of the files. For example, in the dependencies given above (@pxref{Automatic Remaking}), @file{config.status} is run twice when @file{configure.in} has changed. If that bothers you, you can make each run only regenerate the files for that rule: @example @group # config.status might not change config.h config.h: stamp-h stamp-h: config.h.in config.status CONFIG_FILES= CONFIG_HEADERS=config.h ./config.status touch stamp-h Makefile: Makefile.in config.status CONFIG_FILES=Makefile CONFIG_HEADERS= ./config.status @end group @end example @noindent (If @file{configure.in} does not call @code{AC_CONFIG_HEADER}, there is no need to set @code{CONFIG_HEADERS} in the @code{make} rules.) @node Example, Preprocessor Symbol Index, Invoking configure, Top @chapter An Example Here are sample @file{configure.in} and @file{Makefile.in} files, to give a real illustration of using Autoconf. They are from the GNU @code{cpio} package, which also includes the @code{mt} and @code{rmt} programs. This package does not use a configuration header file; it passes @samp{-D} options to the C compiler on the command line. @menu * Sample configure.in:: An example of a @file{configure} template. * Sample Makefile.in:: An example of a @file{Makefile} template. @end menu @node Sample configure.in, Sample Makefile.in, , Example @section Sample @file{configure.in} @noindent Here is @file{configure.in} from GNU @code{cpio}.

File: autoconf.info, Node: Introduction, Next: Distributing, Prev: Top, Up: Top Introduction ************ Autoconf is a tool for producing shell scripts that automatically configure software source code packages to adapt to many kinds of UNIX-like systems. The configuration scripts produced by Autoconf are independent of Autoconf when they are run, so their users do not need to have Autoconf. The configuration scripts produced by Autoconf normally require no manual user intervention when run; they do not even take an argument specifying the system type. Instead, they test for the presence of each feature that the software package they are for might need individually. (Before each check, they print a one-line message stating what they are checking for, so the user doesn't get too bored while waiting for the script to finish.) As a result, they deal well with systems that are hybrids or customized from the more common UNIX variants. There is no need to maintain files that list the features supported by each release of each variant of UNIX. For each software package that Autoconf is used with, it creates a configuration script from a template file that lists the operating system features that the package can use. After the shell code to recognize and respond to an operating system feature has been written, Autoconf allows it to be shared by many software packages that can use (or need) that feature. If it later turns out that the shell code needs adjustment for some reason, it needs to be changed in only one place; all of the the configuration scripts can be regenerated automatically to take advantage of the updated code. Larry Wall's Metaconfig package is similar in purpose to Autoconf, but is more general. The scripts it produces require manual user intervention, which is quite inconvenient when configuring large source trees. Unlike Metaconfig scripts, Autoconf scripts can support cross-compiling, if some care is taken in writing them. They should avoid executing test programs, since test programs compiled with a cross-compiler can not be executed on the host system. Also, they shouldn't do anything that tests features of the host system instead of the target system. Autoconf imposes some restrictions on the names of macros used with `#ifdef' in C programs (*note Preprocessor Symbol Index::.). Autoconf requires GNU `m4' in order to generate the scripts. It uses features that some UNIX versions of `m4' do not have. It also overflows internal limits of some versions of `m4', including GNU `m4' 1.0; so use a later version of GNU `m4'. Autoconf does not work well with GNU C library releases before 1.06. The GNU C library contains stubs (which always return an error) for functions that are not available instead of omitting them from the library. As a result, Autoconf scripts are fooled into thinking that those functions are available. This problem does not exist with releases 1.06 and later of the GNU C library, which define C preprocessor macros that the Autoconf macros `AC_FUNC_CHECK' and `AC_REPLACE_FUNCS' test, indicating that certain functions are stubs (*note General Feature Tests::., for more information on checking for functions). Autoconf was written by David MacKenzie, with help from Franc,ois Pinard, Karl Berry, Richard Pixley, Ian Lance Taylor, Roland McGrath, Noah Friedman, and david d zuhn. It was inspired by Brian Fox's automatic configuration system for Bash, by Larry Wall's Metaconfig, and by Richard Stallman, Richard Pixley, and John Gilmore's configuration tools for the GNU compiler and object file utilities. Mail suggestions and bug reports for Autoconf to `bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu'. Please include the Autoconf version number, which you can get by running `autoconf --version'.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Distributing, Next: Making configure Scripts, Prev: Introduction, Up: Top Distributing Autoconf Output **************************** The configuration scripts that Autoconf produces are covered by the GNU General Public License. This is because they consist almost entirely of parts of Autoconf itself, rearranged somewhat, and Autoconf is distributed under the terms of the GPL. As applied to Autoconf, the GPL just means that you need to distribute `configure.in', and `aclocal.m4', `acconfig.h', and `CONFIG.h.top' and `CONFIG.h.bot' if you use them, along with `configure'. Programs that use Autoconf scripts to configure themselves do not automatically come under the GPL. Distributing an Autoconf configuration script as part of a program is considered to be *mere aggregation* of that work with the Autoconf script. Such programs are not derivative works based on Autoconf; only their configuration scripts are. We still encourage software authors to distribute their work under terms like those of the GPL, but doing so is not required to use Autoconf.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Making configure Scripts, Next: Specific Tests, Prev: Distributing, Up: Top Making `configure' Scripts ************************** The configuration scripts that Autoconf produces are by convention called `configure'. When run, `configure' creates several files, replacing configuration parameters in them with values appropriate for the system being configured. The files that `configure' creates are: * one or more `Makefile' files (one in each subdirectory of the package), from template `Makefile.in' files (*note Makefiles::.); * optionally, a C header file, the name of which is configurable, containing `#define' statements (*note Setup::.); * a shell script called `config.status' that, when run, will recreate the files listed above (*note Invoking config.status::.). To create a `configure' script with Autoconf, you need to write an Autoconf input file (`configure.in') and run Autoconf on it to produce the script. If you write your own feature tests to supplement those that come with Autoconf, you might also write a file called `aclocal.m4'. If you use a C header file to contain `#define' directives, you might also write `config.h.top', `config.h.bot', and `acconfig.h', and you will distribute the Autoconf-generated file `config.h.in' with the package. Here is a diagram showing how the files that can be used in configuration are produced. Programs that are executed are suffixed by `*'. Optional files are enclosed in square brackets (`[]'). `autoconf' and `autoheader' also read the installed files `acgeneral.m4' and `acspecific.m4', and also an installed `aclocal.m4' if it exists. Files used in preparing a software package for distribution: configure.in --. .------> autoconf* -----> configure +---+ [aclocal.m4] --' `---. +--> [autoheader*] -> [config.h.in] [acconfig.h] ----. | +-----' [config.h.top] --+ [config.h.bot] --' Makefile.in -------------------------------> Makefile.in Files used in configuring a software package: configure* ------------. | [config.h.in] -. v .-> [config.h] -. +--> config.status* -+ +--> make* Makefile.in ---' `-> Makefile ---' * Menu: * Writing configure.in:: What to put in an Autoconf input file. * Invoking autoconf:: How to create configuration scripts. * Invoking autoheader:: How to create configuration header files.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Writing configure.in, Next: Invoking autoconf, Up: Making configure Scripts Writing `configure.in' ====================== To produce a `configure' script for a software package, create a file called `configure.in' that contains invocations of the Autoconf macros that test the system features your package needs or can use. Autoconf macros already exist to check for many features; see *Note Specific Tests::, for their descriptions. For most other features, you can use Autoconf template macros to produce custom checks; see *Note General Feature Tests::, for information about them. For especially tricky or specialized features, `configure.in' might need to contain some hand-crafted shell commands. *Note Writing Macros::, for guidelines on writing tests from scratch. Every `configure.in' must begin with a call to `AC_INIT' and end with a call to `AC_OUTPUT' (*note Setup::.). Other than that, the order in which `configure.in' calls the Autoconf macros is generally not important, except that some macros rely on other macros having been called first, because they check previously set values of some variables to decide what to do. These macros are noted in the individual descriptions (*note Specific Tests::.). To encourage consistency, here is a suggested order for calling the Autoconf macros. A few macros need to be called in a different order from the one given here; they are noted in their individual descriptions (*note Specific Tests::.). Note that there must not be any space between the macro name and the open parentheses. `AC_INIT(FILE)' checks for alternative programs checks for UNIX variants that set C preprocessor variables checks for header files checks for typedefs checks for library functions checks for structures checks for compiler characteristics checks for system services other checks for UNIX variants `AC_OUTPUT([FILE...])' You can include comments in `configure.in' files by starting them with the `m4' predefined macro `dnl', which discards text up through the next newline. These comments do not appear in the generated `configure' scripts. For example, it is helpful to begin `configure.in' files with a line like this: dnl Process this file with autoconf to produce a configure script. *Note Sample configure.in::, for an example of a real `configure.in' script.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Invoking autoconf, Next: Invoking autoheader, Prev: Writing configure.in, Up: Making configure Scripts Invoking `autoconf' =================== To create `configure' from `configure.in', run the `autoconf' program with no arguments. `autoconf' processes `configure.in' with the `m4' macro processor, using the Autoconf macros. If you give `autoconf' an argument, it reads that file instead of `configure.in' and writes the configuration script to the standard output instead of to `configure'. If you give `autoconf' the argument `-', it reads the standard input instead of `configure.in' and writes the configuration script on the standard output. The Autoconf macros are defined in two or more files. Two of the files are distributed with Autoconf: `autoconf' first reads `acgeneral.m4' (*note General Purpose Macros::.), then `acspecific.m4' (*note Specific Tests::.). After reading them, `autoconf' looks for an optional file called `aclocal.m4', first in the directory that contains other installed Autoconf macro files, and then in the current directory. If both files exist, it uses both of them. Those files can contain your site's own locally written Autoconf macro definitions (*note Writing Macros::., for more information). If a macro is defined in more than one of the files that `autoconf' reads, the last definition it reads overrides the earlier ones. You can override the directory where `autoconf' looks for the installed macro files by setting the `AC_MACRODIR' environment variable to a different directory. You can also give `autoconf' the `--macrodir' option, which overrides `AC_MACRODIR'. `autoconf' also accepts the options `--version', which prints the Autoconf version number and exits, and `--help', which prints a summary of the command-line options and exits.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Invoking autoheader, Prev: Invoking autoconf, Up: Making configure Scripts Invoking `autoheader' ===================== You can use the `autoheader' program to create a template file of C `#define' statements for `configure' to use. By default, the file that `autoheader' creates is called `config.h.in'; if `configure.in' invokes `AC_CONFIG_HEADER(FILE)', `autoheader' creates `FILE.in'. `autoheader' scans `configure.in' and figures out which C preprocessor symbols it might define. It copies comments and `#define' and `#undef' statements from a file called `acconfig.h', which comes with and is installed with Autoconf. It also uses a file called `acconfig.h' in the current directory, if present; you must create that file to contain entries for any additional symbols that you `AC_DEFINE'. For symbols defined by `AC_HAVE_HEADERS', `AC_HAVE_FUNCS', `AC_SIZEOF_TYPE', or `AC_HAVE_LIBRARY', `autoheader' generates comments and `#undef' statements itself rather than copying them from a file, since the possible symbols are effectively limitless. The file that `autoheader' creates usually contains only `#define' and `#undef' statements and their accompanying comments. However, if a file called `FILE.top' (typically `config.h.top') exists in the current directory, `autoheader' copies that file to the beginning of its output. If you give `autoheader' an argument, it uses that file instead of `configure.in' and writes the header file to the standard output instead of to `config.h.in'. If you give `autoheader' an argument of `-', it reads the standard input instead of `configure.in' and writes the header file to the standard output. You can override the directory where `autoheader' looks for the installed macro and `acconfig.h' files by setting the `AC_MACRODIR' environment variable to a different directory. You can also give `autoheader' the `--macrodir' option, which overrides `AC_MACRODIR'. `autoheader' also accepts the options `--version', which prints the Autoconf version number and exits, and `--help', which prints a summary of the command-line options and exits.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Specific Tests, Next: General Purpose Macros, Prev: Making configure Scripts, Up: Top Specific Tests ************** These macros test for particular operating system features that packages might need or want to use. If you need to test for a feature that none of these macros check for, you can probably do it by calling one of the general purpose test macros with appropriate arguments (*note General Feature Tests::.). All of these macros that set `make' variables call `AC_SUBST' on those variables (*note Setting Variables::., for details about `AC_SUBST'). The phrase "define NAME" is used below as a shorthand to mean either add `-DNAME=1' to the `make' variable `DEFS', or put `#define NAME 1' in the configuration header file, depending on whether `AC_CONFIG_HEADER' has been called. *Note Setting Variables::, for more information. Within each section below, the macros are listed in alphabetical order. The macros are generally named for the `make' variables or C preprocessor macros that they define; those names are based largely on what existing GNU programs use. These macros are defined in the file `acspecific.m4'. * Menu: * Alternative Programs:: Selecting between alternative programs. * Header Files:: Header files that might be missing. * Typedefs:: `typedef's that might be missing. * Library Functions:: C library functions that might be missing. * Structures:: Structures or members that might be missing. * Compiler Characteristics:: C compiler or machine architecture features. * System Services:: Operating system services. * UNIX Variants:: Special cases for specific UNIX variants.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Alternative Programs, Next: Header Files, Up: Specific Tests Alternative Programs ==================== The following macros check for the presence or behavior of particular programs: - Macro: AC_GCC_TRADITIONAL Add `-traditional' to `make' variable `CC' if using the GNU C compiler and `ioctl' does not work properly without `-traditional'. This macro calls `AC_PROG_CC' and `AC_PROG_CPP' if they haven't been called already. - Macro: AC_LN_S If `ln -s' works on the current filesystem (the O.S. and filesystem support symbolic links), set shell and `make' variable `LN_S' to `ln -s', otherwise set it to `ln'. - Macro: AC_MINUS_C_MINUS_O If the C compiler does not accept the `-c' and `-o' options simultaneously, define `NO_MINUS_C_MINUS_O'. - Macro: AC_PROG_AWK Check for `mawk', `gawk', `nawk', and `awk', in that order, and set `make' variable `AWK' to the first one that it finds. - Macro: AC_PROG_CC If `gcc' is found, set `make' variable `CC' to `gcc', and set shell variable `GCC' to 1 for use by macros such as `AC_GCC_TRADITIONAL'. - Macro: AC_PROG_CPP Set shell and `make' variable `CPP' to a command that runs the C preprocessor. If `$CC -E' doesn't work, it uses `/lib/cpp'. It is only portable to run `CPP' on files with a `.c' extension. If the current language is C (*note Language Choice::.), many of the specific test macros use the value of `CPP' indirectly by calling `AC_TEST_CPP', `AC_HEADER_CHECK', `AC_HEADER_EGREP', or `AC_PROGRAM_EGREP'. Those macros call this macro first if it hasn't been called already. It calls `AC_PROG_CC' if it hasn't been called already. - Macro: AC_PROG_CXX Determine a C++ compiler to use. Check if the environment variable CXX or CCC (in that order) is set; if so, set `make' variable `CXX' to its value. Otherwise search for a C++ compiler under likely names (`c++', `g++', `gcc', and `CC'). If none of those checks succeed, as a last resort set `CXX' to `gcc'. - Macro: AC_PROG_CXXCPP Set shell and `make' variable `CXXCPP' to a command that runs the C++ preprocessor. If `$CXX -E' doesn't work, it uses `/lib/cpp'. It is only portable to run `CXXCPP' on files with a `.C' or `.cc' extension. If the current language is C++ (*note Language Choice::.), many of the specific test macros use the value of `CXXCPP' indirectly by calling `AC_TEST_CPP', `AC_HEADER_CHECK', `AC_HEADER_EGREP', or `AC_PROGRAM_EGREP'. Those macros call this macro first if it hasn't been called already. This macro calls `AC_PROG_CXX' if it hasn't been called already. - Macro: AC_PROG_INSTALL Set `make' variable `INSTALL' to `install -c' if `install' is found and is compatible with the BSD and GNU versions. Otherwise, set `INSTALL' to `DIR/install.sh -c', where it checks for `install.sh' in the directories `$srcdir', `$srcdir/..', and `$srcdir/../..' to determine DIR. This macro screens out the false matches `/etc/install', `/usr/sbin/install', and other instances of `install' known not to work. It also sets the variable `INSTALL_PROGRAM' to `${INSTALL}' and `INSTALL_DATA' to `${INSTALL} -m 644'. If you need to use your own `install.sh' because it has features not found in standard `install' programs, there is no reason to use `AC_PROG_INSTALL'; just put the pathname of your script into your `Makefile.in' files. - Macro: AC_PROG_LEX If `flex' is found, set `make' variable `LEX' to `flex' and `LEXLIB' to `-lfl', if that library is in a standard place. Otherwise set `LEX' to `lex' and `LEXLIB' to `-ll'. - Macro: AC_PROG_RANLIB Set `make' variable `RANLIB' to `ranlib' if `ranlib' is found, otherwise to `:' (do nothing). - Macro: AC_PROG_YACC If `bison' is found, set `make' variable `YACC' to `bison -y'. Otherwise, if `byacc' is found, set `YACC' to `byacc'. Otherwise set `YACC' to `yacc'. - Macro: AC_RSH If a remote shell is available, put `rtapelib.o' in `make' variable `RTAPELIB'. Otherwise, also do so if `netdb.h' exists (implying the `rexec' function), and in addition define `HAVE_NETDB_H'. If neither a remote shell nor `rexec' is available, define `NO_REMOTE'. - Macro: AC_SET_MAKE If `make' predefines the variable `MAKE', define `make' variable `SET_MAKE' to be empty. Otherwise, define `SET_MAKE' to contain `MAKE=make'. Calls `AC_SUBST' for `SET_MAKE'. In recent versions of `make', the variable `MAKE' contains the name of the `make' program plus options it was given. It is used when running `make' recursively in subdirectories. But some old versions of `make' don't set the `MAKE' variable. This macro allows use of `MAKE' on all systems. If you use this macro, simply place a line like this in your `Makefile.in' file(s): @SET_MAKE@ - Macro: AC_YYTEXT_POINTER Define `YYTEXT_POINTER' if `yytext' is a `char *' instead of a `char []'. This depends on whether `lex' or `flex' is being used. This macro calls `AC_PROG_CPP' (or `AC_PROG_CXXCPP' if C++ is the current language, *note Language Choice::.) and `AC_PROG_LEX' if they haven't been called already. This macro replaces `AC_DECLARE_YYTEXT', which didn't work.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Header Files, Next: Typedefs, Prev: Alternative Programs, Up: Specific Tests Header Files ============ The following macros check for the presence of certain C header files: - Macro: AC_DIR_HEADER If the system has `dirent.h', define `DIRENT'; otherwise, if it has `sys/ndir.h', define `SYSNDIR'; otherwise, if it has `sys/dir.h', define `SYSDIR'; otherwise, if it has `ndir.h', define `NDIR'. Also, if the directory library header file contains a declaration of the `closedir' function with a `void' return type, define `VOID_CLOSEDIR'. The directory library declarations in the source code should look something like the following, which assumes that you have also called `AC_HAVE_HEADERS(unistd.h)': #ifdef HAVE_UNISTD_H #include #include #endif /* unistd.h defines _POSIX_VERSION on POSIX.1 systems. */ #if defined(DIRENT) || defined(_POSIX_VERSION) #include #define NLENGTH(dirent) (strlen((dirent)->d_name)) #else /* not (DIRENT or _POSIX_VERSION) */ #define dirent direct #define NLENGTH(dirent) ((dirent)->d_namlen) #ifdef SYSNDIR #include #endif /* SYSNDIR */ #ifdef SYSDIR #include #endif /* SYSDIR */ #ifdef NDIR #include #endif /* NDIR */ #endif /* not (DIRENT or _POSIX_VERSION) */ Using the above declarations, the program would declare variables to be type `struct dirent', not `struct direct', and would access the length of a directory entry name by passing a pointer to a `struct dirent' to the `NLENGTH' macro. - Macro: AC_MAJOR_HEADER If `sys/types.h' does not define `major', `minor', and `makedev', but `sys/mkdev.h' does, define `MAJOR_IN_MKDEV'; otherwise, if `sys/sysmacros.h' does, define `MAJOR_IN_SYSMACROS'. - Macro: AC_MEMORY_H Define `NEED_MEMORY_H' if `memcpy', `memcmp', etc. are not declared in `string.h' and `memory.h' exists. This macro is obsolete; instead, use `AC_HAVE_HEADERS(memory.h)'. See the example for `AC_STDC_HEADERS'. - Macro: AC_STDC_HEADERS Define `STDC_HEADERS' if the system has ANSI C header files. Specifically, this macro checks for `stdlib.h', `stdarg.h', `string.h', and `float.h'; if the system has those, it probably has the rest of the ANSI C header files. This macro also checks whether `string.h' declares `memchr' (and thus presumably the other `mem' functions), whether `stdlib.h' declare `free' (and thus presumably `malloc' and other related functions), and whether the `ctype.h' macros work on characters with the high bit set, as ANSI C requires. Use `STDC_HEADERS' instead of `__STDC__' to determine whether the system has ANSI-compliant header files (and probably C library functions) because many systems that have GCC do not have ANSI C header files. To check whether to use the System V/ANSI C string functions and header file, you can put the following in `configure.in': AC_STDC_HEADERS AC_HAVE_HEADERS(string.h memory.h) Then, in the code, use a test like this: #if STDC_HEADERS || HAVE_STRING_H #include /* An ANSI string.h and pre-ANSI memory.h might conflict. */ #if !STDC_HEADERS && HAVE_MEMORY_H #include #endif /* not STDC_HEADERS and HAVE_MEMORY_H */ #define index strchr #define rindex strrchr #define bcopy(s, d, n) memcpy ((d), (s), (n)) #define bcmp(s1, s2, n) memcmp ((s1), (s2), (n)) #define bzero(s, n) memset ((s), 0, (n)) #else /* not STDC_HEADERS and not HAVE_STRING_H */ #include /* memory.h and strings.h conflict on some systems. */ #endif /* not STDC_HEADERS and not HAVE_STRING_H */ This example asssumes that your code uses the BSD style functions. If you use the System V/ANSI C style functions, you will need to replace the macro definitions with ones that go in the other direction. This macro calls `AC_PROG_CPP' or `AC_PROG_CXXCPP' (depending on which language is current, *note Language Choice::.), if it hasn't been called already. - Macro: AC_UNISTD_H Define `HAVE_UNISTD_H' if the system has `unistd.h'. This macro is obsolete; instead, use `AC_HAVE_HEADERS(unistd.h)'. The way to check if the system supports POSIX.1 is: #if HAVE_UNISTD_H #include #include #endif #ifdef _POSIX_VERSION /* Code for POSIX.1 systems. */ #endif `_POSIX_VERSION' is defined when `unistd.h' is included on POSIX.1 systems. If there is no `unistd.h', it is definitely not a POSIX.1 system. However, some non-POSIX.1 systems do have `unistd.h'. - Macro: AC_USG Define `USG' if the system does not have `strings.h', `rindex', `bzero', etc. This implies that it has `string.h', `strrchr', `memset', etc. The symbol `USG' is obsolete. Instead of this macro, use `AC_HAVE_HEADERS(string.h)' and use `HAVE_STRING_H' in your code. See the example for `AC_STDC_HEADERS'. - Macro: AC_SYS_SIGLIST_DECLARED Define `SYS_SIGLIST_DECLARED' if the variable `sys_siglist' is declared in a system header file, either `signal.h' or `unistd.h'.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Typedefs, Next: Library Functions, Prev: Header Files, Up: Specific Tests Typedefs ======== The following macros check for predefined C types: - Macro: AC_GETGROUPS_T Define `GETGROUPS_T' to be whichever of `gid_t' or `int' is the base type of the array argument to `getgroups'. - Macro: AC_MODE_T If `mode_t' is not defined in `sys/types.h', define `mode_t' to be `int'. - Macro: AC_OFF_T If `off_t' is not defined in `sys/types.h', define `off_t' to be `long'. - Macro: AC_PID_T If `pid_t' is not defined in `sys/types.h', define `pid_t' to be `int'. - Macro: AC_RETSIGTYPE If `signal.h' declares `signal' as returning a pointer to a function returning `void', define `RETSIGTYPE' to be `void'; otherwise, define it to be `int'. Define signal handlers as returning type `RETSIGTYPE': RETSIGTYPE hup_handler () { ... } - Macro: AC_SIZE_T If `size_t' is not defined in `sys/types.h', define `size_t' to be `unsigned'. - Macro: AC_UID_T If `uid_t' is not defined in `sys/types.h', define `uid_t' to be `int' and `gid_t' to be `int'.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Library Functions, Next: Structures, Prev: Typedefs, Up: Specific Tests Library Functions ================= The following macros check for particular C library functions: - Macro: AC_ALLOCA Check how to get `alloca'. Tries to get a builtin version by checking for `alloca.h' or the predefined C preprocessor macros `__GNUC__' and `_AIX'. If that fails, it looks for a function in the standard C library. If that fails, it sets the `make' variable `ALLOCA' to `alloca.o' and defines `C_ALLOCA' (so programs can periodically call `alloca(0)' to garbage collect). This variable is separate from `LIBOBJS' so multiple programs can share the value of `ALLOCA' without needing to create an actual library, in case only some of them use the code in `LIBOBJS'. If this macro finds `alloca.h', it defines `HAVE_ALLOCA_H'. This macro does not try to get `alloca' from the SVR3 `libPW' or the SVR4 `libucb' because those libraries contain some incompatible functions that cause trouble. Some versions do not even contain `alloca' or contain a buggy version. If you still want to use their `alloca', use `ar' to extract `alloca.o' from them instead of compiling `alloca.c'. Source files that use `alloca' should start with a piece of code like the following, to declare it properly. Note that in some versions of AIX, the declaration of `alloca' must precede everything else except for comments and preprocessor directives. The `#pragma' directive is indented so that pre-ANSI C compilers will ignore it, rather than choke on it. /* AIX requires this to be the first thing in the file. */ #ifdef __GNUC__ #define alloca __builtin_alloca #else /* not __GNUC__ */ #if HAVE_ALLOCA_H #include #else /* not HAVE_ALLOCA_H */ #ifdef _AIX #pragma alloca #else /* not _AIX */ char *alloca (); #endif /* not _AIX */ #endif /* not HAVE_ALLOCA_H */ #endif /* not __GNUC__ */ - Macro: AC_GETLOADAVG Check how to get the system load averages. If the system has the `getloadavg' function, this macro defines `HAVE_GETLOADAVG', and adds to `LIBS' any libraries needed to get that function. Otherwise, it adds `getloadavg.o' to the `make' variable `LIBOBJS', and possibly defines several other C preprocessor macros and `make' variables: 1. It defines `SVR4', `DGUX', `UMAX', or `UMAX4_3' if on those systems. 2. If it finds `nlist.h', it defines `NLIST_STRUCT'. 3. If `struct nlist' has an `n_un' member, it defines `NLIST_NAME_UNION'. 4. If compiling `getloadavg.c' defines `LDAV_PRIVILEGED', programs need to be installed specially on this system for `getloadavg' to work, and this macro defines `GETLOADAVG_PRIVILEGED'. 5. This macro always defines `NEED_SETGID', for `make'. The value is `true' if special installation is required, `false' if not. If `NEED_SETGID' is `true', it sets `KMEM_GROUP' to the name of the group that should own the installed program. - Macro: AC_MMAP If the `mmap' function exists and works correctly, define `HAVE_MMAP'. - Macro: AC_SETVBUF_REVERSED If `setvbuf' takes the buffering type as its second argument and the buffer pointer as the third, instead of the other way around, define `SETVBUF_REVERSED'. This is the case on System V before release 3. - Macro: AC_STRCOLL If the `strcoll' function exists and works correctly, define `HAVE_STRCOLL'. This does a bit more than `AC_HAVE_FUNCS(strcoll)', because some systems have incorrect definitions of `strcoll', which should not be used. - Macro: AC_UTIME_NULL If `utime(FILE, NULL)' sets FILE's timestamp to the present, define `HAVE_UTIME_NULL'. - Macro: AC_VFORK If `vfork.h' is found, define `HAVE_VFORK_H'. If a working `vfork' is not found, define `vfork' to be `fork'. This macro checks for several known errors in implementations of `vfork' and considers the system to not have a working `vfork' if it detects any of them. - Macro: AC_VPRINTF If `vprintf' is found, define `HAVE_VPRINTF'. Otherwise, if `_doprnt' is found, define `HAVE_DOPRNT'. (If `vprintf' is available, you may assume that `vfprintf' and `vsprintf' are also available.) - Macro: AC_WAIT3 If `wait3' is found and fills in the contents of its third argument (a `struct rusage *'), which HP-UX does not do, define `HAVE_WAIT3'.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Structures, Next: Compiler Characteristics, Prev: Library Functions, Up: Specific Tests Structures ========== The following macros check for certain structures or structure members: - Macro: AC_STAT_MACROS_BROKEN If the macros `S_ISDIR', `S_ISREG' et al. defined in `sys/stat.h' do not work properly (returning false positives), define `STAT_MACROS_BROKEN'. This is the case on Tektronix UTekV, Amdahl UTS and Motorola System V/88. - Macro: AC_ST_BLKSIZE If `struct stat' contains an `st_blksize' member, define `HAVE_ST_BLKSIZE'. - Macro: AC_ST_BLOCKS If `struct stat' contains an `st_blocks' member, define `HAVE_ST_BLOCKS'. Otherwise, add `fileblocks.o' to the `make' variable `LIBOBJS'. - Macro: AC_ST_RDEV If `struct stat' contains an `st_rdev' member, define `HAVE_ST_RDEV'. - Macro: AC_TIME_WITH_SYS_TIME If a program may include both `time.h' and `sys/time.h', define `TIME_WITH_SYS_TIME'. On some older systems, `sys/time.h' includes `time.h', but `time.h' is not protected against multiple inclusion, so programs should not explicitly include both files. This macro is useful in programs that use, for example, `struct timeval' or `struct timezone' as well as `struct tm'. It is best used in conjunction with `HAVE_SYS_TIME_H'. #ifdef TIME_WITH_SYS_TIME #include #include #else #ifdef HAVE_SYS_TIME_H #include #else #include #endif #endif - Macro: AC_STRUCT_TM If `time.h' does not define `struct tm', define `TM_IN_SYS_TIME', which means that including `sys/time.h' defines `struct tm'. - Macro: AC_TIMEZONE Figure out how to get the current timezone. If `struct tm' has a `tm_zone' member, define `HAVE_TM_ZONE'. Otherwise, if the external array `tzname' is found, define `HAVE_TZNAME'. This macro calls `AC_STRUCT_TM' if it hasn't been called already.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Compiler Characteristics, Next: System Services, Prev: Structures, Up: Specific Tests Compiler Characteristics ======================== The following macros check for C compiler or machine architecture features: - Macro: AC_ARG_ARRAY If the address of an argument to a C function can not be used like the start of an array, define `NO_ARG_ARRAY'. This ability allows a sequence of arguments with the same type to be accessed as if they were an array of values. - Macro: AC_CROSS_CHECK If the C compiler being used does not produce executables that can run on the system where `configure' is being run, set the shell variable `cross_compiling' to 1. This information can be used by `AC_TEST_PROGRAM' to determine whether to take a default action instead of trying to run a test program (*note General Feature Tests::.). - Macro: AC_CHAR_UNSIGNED If the C type `char' is unsigned, define `__CHAR_UNSIGNED__', unless the C compiler predefines it. - Macro: AC_CONST If the C compiler does not fully support the keyword `const', define `const' to be empty. Some C compilers that do not define `__STDC__' do support `const'; some compilers that define `__STDC__' do not completely support `const'. Programs can simply use `const' as if every C compiler supported it; for those that don't, the `Makefile' or configuration header file will define it as empty. (If using a configuration header file, the program should include it before any other header files, to prevent inconsistencies in declarations.) - Macro: AC_INLINE If the C compiler is a version of GCC that supports the keyword `__inline' but not `inline' (such as some NeXT versions), define `inline' to be `__inline'. This macro calls `AC_PROG_CC' if it hasn't been called already. - Macro: AC_INT_16_BITS If the C type `int' is 16 bits wide, define `INT_16_BITS'. This macro is obsolete; it is more general to use `AC_SIZEOF_TYPE(int)' instead (*note General Feature Tests::.). - Macro: AC_LONG_64_BITS If the C type `long int' is 64 bits wide, define `LONG_64_BITS'. This macro is obsolete; it is more general to use `AC_SIZEOF_TYPE(long)' instead (*note General Feature Tests::.). - Macro: AC_LONG_DOUBLE If the C compiler supports the `long double' type, define `HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE'. Some C compilers that do not define `__STDC__' do support the `long double' type; some compilers that define `__STDC__' do not support `long double'. - Macro: AC_WORDS_BIGENDIAN If words are stored with the most significant byte first (like Motorola and SPARC, but not Intel and VAX, CPUs), define `WORDS_BIGENDIAN'.  File: autoconf.info, Node: System Services, Next: UNIX Variants, Prev: Compiler Characteristics, Up: Specific Tests System Services =============== The following macros check for operating system services: - Macro: AC_FIND_X Try to locate the X Window System include files and libraries. Try first by running `xmkmf' on a trivial `Imakefile' and examining the `Makefile' that it produces. If that fails (such as if `xmkmf' is not present), look for them in several directories where they often reside. If either method is successful, set the shell variables `x_includes' and `x_libraries' to their locations, unless they are in directories the compiler searches by default. If both methods fail, or the user gave the command line option `--without-x', set the shell variable `no_x' to `true'; otherwise set it to the empty string. The command line options `--x-includes=DIR' and `--x-libraries=DIR' override the values chosen by this macro. - Macro: AC_FIND_XTRA An enhanced version of `AC_FIND_X'. Put the C compiler flags that X needs into `make' variable `X_CFLAGS', and the X linker flags into `X_LIBS'. If X is not available, put `-DX_DISPLAY_MISSING' into `X_CFLAGS'. Also check for special libraries that some systems need in order to compile X programs. Add any that the system needs to `make' variable `X_EXTRA_LIBS'. This macro calls `AC_FIND_X' and `AC_ISC_POSIX' (*note UNIX Variants::.) if they have not already been called. Because of the macro dependencies, if you call this macro, you should let it call `AC_FIND_X' rather than doing that yourself. - Macro: AC_HAVE_POUNDBANG (ACTION-IF-SUPPORTED [, ACTION-IF-NOT-SUPPORTED]) Check whether the system supports starting shell scripts with a line of the form `#!/bin/csh' to select the shell to use. If `#!' works, execute shell commands ACTION-IF-SUPPORTED; if not, execute ACTION-IF-NOT-SUPPORTED. - Macro: AC_LONG_FILE_NAMES If the system supports file names longer than 14 characters, define `HAVE_LONG_FILE_NAMES'. - Macro: AC_REMOTE_TAPE If BSD tape drive ioctls are available, define `HAVE_SYS_MTIO_H', and if sockets are available add `rmt' to `make' variable `PROGS'. - Macro: AC_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS If the system automatically restarts a system call that is interrupted by a signal, define `HAVE_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS'.  File: autoconf.info, Node: UNIX Variants, Prev: System Services, Up: Specific Tests UNIX Variants ============= The following macros check for certain operating systems that need special treatment for some programs, due to exceptional oddities in their header files or libraries: - Macro: AC_AIX If on AIX, define `_ALL_SOURCE'. Allows the use of some BSD functions. Should be called before any macros that run the C compiler. - Macro: AC_DYNIX_SEQ If on DYNIX/ptx (Sequent UNIX), add `-lseq' to `make' variable `LIBS'. Allows use of some BSD system calls and `getmntent'. - Macro: AC_IRIX_SUN If on IRIX (Silicon Graphics UNIX), add `-lsun' to `make' variable `LIBS'. Needed to get `getmntent'. At sites using Yellow Pages/NIS, it is also needed to get properly working `gethostby*', `getpw*', `getgr*', `getnetby*', and so on. - Macro: AC_ISC_POSIX If on a POSIXized ISC UNIX, define `_POSIX_SOURCE' and add `-posix' (for the GNU C compiler) or `-Xp' (for other C compilers) to `make' variable `CC'. This allows the use of POSIX facilities. Must be called after `AC_PROG_CC' and before any other macros that run the C compiler. - Macro: AC_MINIX If on Minix, define `_MINIX' and `_POSIX_SOURCE' and define `_POSIX_1_SOURCE' to be 2. This allows the use of POSIX facilities. Should be called before any macros that run the C compiler. - Macro: AC_SCO_INTL If on SCO UNIX, add `-lintl' to `make' variable `LIBS'. Used to get `strftime'. It must be called before checking for `strftime'. - Macro: AC_XENIX_DIR If on Xenix, define `VOID_CLOSEDIR' and add `-lx' to `make' variable `LIBS'. Also, if `sys/ndir.h' is not being used, add `-ldir' to `LIBS'. Needed when using the directory reading functions. This macro must be called after `AC_DIR_HEADER'.  File: autoconf.info, Node: General Purpose Macros, Next: Writing Macros, Prev: Specific Tests, Up: Top General Purpose Macros ********************** These macros provide ways for other macros to control the kind of output that Autoconf produces or to check whether various kinds of features are available. They all take arguments. When calling these macros, there must not be any blank space between the macro name and the open parentheses. Arguments to these macros can be more than one line long if they are enclosed within the `m4' quote characters `[' and `]'. Within each section below, the macros are listed in alphabetical order. These macros are defined in the file `acgeneral.m4'. * Menu: * Setup:: Controlling Autoconf operation. * General Feature Tests:: Checking for kinds of features. * Command Line:: Checking command line arguments. * Setting Variables:: Setting shell and `make' variables. * Printing Messages:: Notifying users of progress or problems. * Language Choice:: Selecting which language to use for testing. * Macro Ordering:: Enforcing ordering constraints.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Setup, Next: General Feature Tests, Up: General Purpose Macros Controlling Autoconf Setup ========================== The following macros control the kind of output that Autoconf produces. - Macro: AC_CONFIG_HEADER (HEADER-TO-CREATE ...) Make `AC_OUTPUT' create the file(s) in the whitespace-separated list HEADER-TO-CREATE containing C preprocessor `#define' statements and replace `@DEFS@' in generated files with `-DHAVE_CONFIG_H' instead of the value of `DEFS'. This macro should be called right after `AC_INIT'. The usual name for HEADER-TO-CREATE is `config.h'. If HEADER-TO-CREATE already exists and its contents are identical to what `AC_OUTPUT' would put in it, it is left alone. Doing this allows some changes in configuration without needlessly causing object files that depend on the header file to be recompiled. Your distribution should contain a file `HEADER-TO-CREATE.in' that looks as you want the final header file to look, including comments, with default values in the `#define' statements. A default value can be to `#undef' the variable instead of to define it to a value, if your code tests for configuration options using `#ifdef' instead of `#if'. You can use the program `autoheader' to create `HEADER-TO-CREATE.in' (*note Invoking autoheader::.). - Macro: AC_INIT (UNIQUE-FILE-IN-SOURCE-DIR) Process the command-line arguments and find the source code directory. UNIQUE-FILE-IN-SOURCE-DIR is some file that is in the package's source directory; `configure' checks for this file's existence to make sure that the directory that it is told contains the source code in fact does (*note Invoking configure::., for more information). - Macro: AC_OUTPUT ([FILE...] [,EXTRA-CMDS]) Create output files (typically one or more `Makefile's) and `config.status'. If `AC_CONFIG_HEADER' has been called, also create the header file that was named as its argument. The argument is a whitespace-separated list of files to create; if it is omitted, no files are created. `AC_OUTPUT' creates each file `FILE' in the list by copying `FILE.in', substituting the variable values that have been selected by calling `AC_SUBST'. It creates the directory that each file is in if it doesn't exist (but not the parents of that directory). A plausible value for the argument to `AC_OUTPUT' is `Makefile src/Makefile man/Makefile X/Imakefile'. If you pass EXTRA-CMDS, those commands will be inserted into `config.status' to be run after all its other processing. - Macro: AC_PREPARE (UNIQUE-FILE-IN-SOURCE-DIR) Find the source code directory and set up shell variables necessary for other Autoconf macros to work. uNIQUE-FILE-IN-SOURCE-DIR is some file that is in the package's source directory; `configure' checks for this file's existence to make sure that the directory that it is told contains the source code in fact does (*note Invoking configure::., for more information). `AC_PREPARE' is the last thing done by `AC_INIT'. Use `AC_PREPARE' instead of `AC_INIT' if you want to do argument parsing yourself; never use both. - Macro: AC_PREREQ (VERSION) Ensure that a recent enough version of Autoconf is being used. If the version of Autoconf being used to create `configure' is earlier than VERSION (e.g., `1.8'), print an error message on the standard error output and do not create `configure'. This macro is useful if your `configure.in' relies on non-obvious behavior that changed between Autoconf releases. If it merely needs recently added macros, then `AC_PREREQ' is less useful, because the `autoconf' program already tells the user which macros are not found. The same thing happens if `configure.in' is processed by a version of Autoconf older than when `AC_PREREQ' was added. - Macro: AC_REVISION (REVISION-INFO) Copy revision stamp REVISION-INFO into the `configure' script, with any dollar signs or double-quotes removed. This macro lets you put a revision stamp from `configure.in' into `configure' without RCS or CVS changing it when you check in `configure'. That way, you can determine easily which revision of `configure.in' a particular `configure' corresponds to. It is a good idea to call this macro before `AC_INIT' so that the revision number is near the top of both `configure.in' and `configure'. To support doing that, the `AC_REVISION' output begins with `#!/bin/sh', like the normal start of a `configure' script does. For example, this line in `configure.in': AC_REVISION($Revision: 1.30 $)dnl produces this in `configure': #!/bin/sh # From configure.in Revision: 1.30  File: autoconf.info, Node: General Feature Tests, Next: Command Line, Prev: Setup, Up: General Purpose Macros Checking for Kinds of Features ============================== These macros are templates that, when called with actual parameters, check for various kinds of features. Many of these macros handle two cases: what to do if the given condition is met, and what to do if the condition is not met. In some places you you might want to do something if a condition is true but do nothing if it's false, or vice versa. To omit the true case, pass an empty value for the ACTION-IF-FOUND argument to the macro. To omit the false case, omit the ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND argument to the macro, including the comma before it. One shell programming construction that you should not use in the action arguments to these macros is `VAR=${VAR:-VALUE}'. Old BSD shells, including the Ultrix `sh', don't understand the colon, and complain and die. If you omit the colon, it works fine: `VAR=${VAR-VALUE}'. Using the form without the colon has one small disadvantage. Users can not select a default value by giving a variable an empty value, e.g., `CC= configure'. Instead, they must unset the variable, e.g., `unset CC; configure'. *Note Writing Macros::, for more information on how best to use these macros. - Macro: AC_COMPILE_CHECK (ECHO-TEXT, INCLUDES, FUNCTION-BODY, ACTION-IF-FOUND [, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]) Print `checking for ECHO-TEXT' to the standard output (using `AC_CHECKING', *note Printing Messages::.). Create a test C program to see whether a function whose body consists of FUNCTION-BODY can be compiled and linked; INCLUDES is any `#include' statements needed by the code in FUNCTION-BODY. If the file compiles and links successfully, run shell commands ACTION-IF-FOUND, otherwise run ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND. - Macro: AC_FUNC_CHECK (FUNCTION, ACTION-IF-FOUND [, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]) If FUNCTION is available, run shell commands ACTION-IF-FOUND, otherwise ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND. If the functions might be in libraries other than the default C library, first call `AC_HAVE_LIBRARY' for those libraries. If you just want to define a symbol if the function is available, consider using `AC_HAVE_FUNCS' instead. - Macro: AC_HAVE_FUNCS (FUNCTION...) For each given FUNCTION in the whitespace-separated argument list that is available, define `HAVE_FUNCTION' (in all caps). *Note Specific Tests::, for a precise definition of "define" as it is used here. If the functions might be in libraries other than the default C library, first call `AC_HAVE_LIBRARY' for those libraries. - Macro: AC_HAVE_HEADERS (HEADER-FILE...) For each given HEADER-FILE in the whitespace-separated argument list that exists, define `HAVE_HEADER-FILE' (in all caps). *Note Specific Tests::, for a precise definition of "define" as it is used here. - Macro: AC_HAVE_LIBRARY (LIBRARY [, ACTION-IF-FOUND [, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]]) Create a test C program to see whether that program can be linked with the specified library. ACTION-IF-FOUND is a list of shell commands to run if the link succeeds (which means that the library is present); ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is a list of shell commands to run if the link fails. If ACTION-IF-FOUND and ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND are not specified, the default action is to add `-lfoo' to `LIBS' and define `HAVE_LIBfoo' for library `foo'. LIBRARY can be written as any of `foo', `-lfoo', or `libfoo.a'. In all of those cases, the compiler is passed `-lfoo'. - Macro: AC_HEADER_CHECK (HEADER-FILE, ACTION-IF-FOUND [, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]) If HEADER-FILE exists, execute shell commands ACTION-IF-FOUND, otherwise execute ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND. If you just want to define a symbol if the header file is available, consider using `AC_HAVE_HEADERS' instead. - Macro: AC_HEADER_EGREP (PATTERN, HEADER-FILE, ACTION-IF-FOUND [, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]) If the output of running the preprocessor on HEADER-FILE contains the `egrep' regular expression PATTERN, execute shell commands ACTION-IF-FOUND, otherwise execute This macro calls `AC_PROG_CPP' or `AC_PROG_CXXCPP' (depending on which language is current, *note Language Choice::.), if it hasn't been called already. ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND. You can not check whether preprocessor symbols are defined this way, because they get expanded before `egrep' sees them. But you can almost always detect them by simply using `#ifdef' directives in your programs. - Macro: AC_PROGRAM_CHECK (VARIABLE, PROG-TO-CHECK-FOR, VALUE-IF-FOUND, VALUE-IF-NOT-FOUND) Check whether program PROG-TO-CHECK-FOR exists in `PATH'. If it is found, set VARIABLE to VALUE-IF-FOUND, otherwise to VALUE-IF-NOT-FOUND. If VARIABLE was already set, do nothing. Calls `AC_SUBST' for VARIABLE. - Macro: AC_PROGRAM_EGREP (PATTERN, PROGRAM, ACTION-IF-FOUND [, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]) PROGRAM is the text of a C or C++ program, on which shell variable and backquote substitutions are performed. If the output of running the preprocessor on PROGRAM contains the `egrep' regular expression PATTERN, execute shell commands ACTION-IF-FOUND, otherwise execute ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND. (It is an unfortunate oversight that we use the word `PROGRAM' in Autoconf macro names to sometimes mean C or C++ source code and sometimes mean a UNIX command.) This macro calls `AC_PROG_CPP' or `AC_PROG_CXXCPP' (depending on which language is current, *note Language Choice::.), if it hasn't been called already. - Macro: AC_PROGRAM_PATH (VARIABLE, PROG-TO-CHECK-FOR, VALUE-IF-NOT-FOUND) Similar to `AC_PROGRAM_CHECK', but set VARIABLE to the entire path of PROG-TO-CHECK-FOR if found. Otherwise, set VARIABLE to the value VALUE-IF-NOT-FOUND and perform no path checking. If VARIABLE was already set, do nothing. Calls `AC_SUBST' for VARIABLE. - Macro: AC_PROGRAMS_CHECK (VARIABLE, PROGS-TO-CHECK-FOR [, VALUE-IF-NOT-FOUND]) Check for each program in the whitespace-separated list PROGS-TO-CHECK-FOR exists in `PATH'. If it is found, set VARIABLE to the name of that program. Otherwise, continue checking the next program in the list. If none of the programs in the list are found, set VARIABLE to VALUE-IF-NOT-FOUND; if VALUE-IF-NOT-FOUND is not specified, the value of VARIABLE will not be changed. Calls `AC_SUBST' for VARIABLE. - Macro: AC_PROGRAMS_PATH (VARIABLE, PROGS-TO-CHECK-FOR [, VALUE-IF-NOT-FOUND]) Like `AC_PROGRAMS_CHECK', but if any of PROGS-TO-CHECK-FOR are found, set VARIABLE to the entire pathname of the program found. - Macro: AC_REPLACE_FUNCS (FUNCTION-NAME...) For each given FUNCTION-NAME in the whitespace-separated argument list that is not in the C library, add `FUNCTION-NAME.o' to the value of the `make' variable `LIBOBJS'. If the functions might be in libraries other than the default C library, first call `AC_HAVE_LIBRARY' for those libraries. - Macro: AC_SIZEOF_TYPE (TYPE) Define `SIZEOF_UCTYPE' to be the size in bytes of the C (or C++) builtin type TYPE, e.g. `int' or `char *'. If `type' is unknown to the compiler, gets a size of 0. UCTYPE is TYPE, with lowercase converted to uppercase, spaces changed to underscores, and asterisks changed to `P'. For example, the call AC_SIZEOF_TYPE(int *) defines `SIZEOF_INT_P' to be 8 on DEC Alpha AXP systems. - Macro: AC_TEST_PROGRAM (PROGRAM, ACTION-IF-TRUE [, ACTION-IF-FALSE [, ACTION-IF-CROSS-COMPILING]]) PROGRAM is the text of a C program, on which shell variable and backquote substitutions are performed. If it compiles and links successfully and returns an exit status of 0 when executed, run shell commands ACTION-IF-TRUE. Otherwise run shell commands ACTION-IF-FALSE. If the optional argument ACTION-IF-CROSS-COMPILING is given and the C compiler being used does not produce executables that run on the system where `configure' is being run, then the test program is not run. Instead, the shell commands ACTION-IF-CROSS-COMPILING are run. If that argument is given, this macro calls `AC_CROSS_CHECK' if it has not already been called (*note Compiler Characteristics::.). - Macro: AC_TEST_CPP (INCLUDES, ACTION-IF-TRUE [, ACTION-IF-FALSE]) INCLUDES is C or C++ `#include' statements and declarations, on which shell variable and backquote substitutions are performed. (Actually, it can be any C program, but other statements are probably not useful.) If the preprocessor produces no error messages while processing it, run shell commands ACTION-IF-TRUE. Otherwise run shell commands ACTION-IF-FALSE. This macro calls `AC_PROG_CPP' or `AC_PROG_CXXCPP' (depending on which language is current, *note Language Choice::.), if it hasn't been called already.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Command Line, Next: Setting Variables, Prev: General Feature Tests, Up: General Purpose Macros Checking Command Line Arguments =============================== These macros check whether the user gave `configure' various command line arguments. Like the general feature tests (*note General Feature Tests::.), they may take an argument to use if the argument was given and one for if it was not given. - Macro: AC_ENABLE (FEATURE, ACTION-IF-TRUE [, ACTION-IF-FALSE]) If the user gave `configure' the option `--enable-FEATURE' or `--disable-FEATURE', run shell commands ACTION-IF-TRUE. Otherwise run shell commands ACTION-IF-FALSE. The name FEATURE should consist only of alphanumeric characters and dashes. The FEATURE indicates an optional user-level facility. This option allows users to choose which optional features to build and install. `--enable-FEATURE' options should never make a feature behave differently or cause one feature to replace another. They should only cause parts of the program to be built rather than left out. The user can give an argument by following the feature name with `=' and the argument. Giving an argument of `no' indicates that the feature is *not* available. A feature with an argument looks like `--enable-debug=stabs'. The argument is available to the shell commands ACTION-IF-TRUE in the shell variable `enableval'. If no argument was given to `--enable-FEATURE', `enableval' is `yes'. `--disable-FEATURE' is equivalent to `--enable-FEATURE=no'. At present, arguments containing blanks are not handled correctly; if you need an argument to contain a list, require the items to be separated by commas instead. (This restriction might disappear in the future.) - Macro: AC_PREFIX (PROGRAM) If the user did not specify an installation prefix (using the `--prefix' option), guess a value for it by looking for PROGRAM in `PATH', the way the shell does. If PROGRAM is found, set the prefix to the parent of the directory containing PROGRAM; otherwise leave the prefix specified in `Makefile.in' unchanged. For example, if PROGRAM is `gcc' and the `PATH' contains `/usr/local/gnu/bin/gcc', set the prefix to `/usr/local/gnu'. - Macro: AC_WITH (PACKAGE, ACTION-IF-TRUE [, ACTION-IF-FALSE]) If the user gave `configure' the option `--with-PACKAGE' or `--without-PACKAGE', run shell commands ACTION-IF-TRUE. Otherwise run shell commands ACTION-IF-FALSE. The name PACKAGE should consist only of alphanumeric characters and dashes. The PACKAGE indicates another software package that this program should work with. For example, `--with-gnu-ld' means work with the GNU linker instead of some other linker. `--with-x11' means work with X11. The user can give an argument by following the package name with `=' and the argument. Giving an argument of `no' is for packages that would be used by default; it says to *not* use the package. An argument that is neither `yes' nor `no' could include a name or number of a version of the other package, to specify more precisely which other package this program is supposed to work with. The argument is available to the shell commands ACTION-IF-TRUE in the shell variable `withval'. If no argument was given to `--with-PACKAGE', `withval' is `yes'. `--without-PACKAGE' is equivalent to `--with-PACKAGE=no'. At present, arguments containing blanks are not handled correctly; if you need an argument to contain a list, require the items to be separated by commas instead. (This restriction might disappear in the future.)  File: autoconf.info, Node: Setting Variables, Next: Printing Messages, Prev: Command Line, Up: General Purpose Macros Setting Variables ================= These macros help other macros to define shell and `make' variables. - Macro: AC_DEFINE (VARIABLE [, VALUE]) Define C preprocessor variable VARIABLE. If VALUE is given, set VARIABLE to that value, otherwise set it to 1. To use a shell variable as the value, use `AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED' instead and precede double quotes in the value with backslashes. This macro adds to the shell variable `DEFS'. `AC_OUTPUT' later substitutes the values in `DEFS' into the file(s) that it generates (typically `Makefile'). Alternately, if `AC_CONFIG_HEADER' has been called, `AC_OUTPUT' creates a header file by substituting the correct values into `#define' statements in a template file. For example, suppose your `configure.in' calls `AC_CONFIG_HEADER(conf.h)' and `AC_HAVE_HEADERS(unistd.h)'. You could have code like this in `conf.h.in': /* Define as 1 if you have unistd.h. */ #define HAVE_UNISTD_H 0 On systems that have `unistd.h', `configure' will change the 0 to a 1. On other systems, it will leave the line unchanged. Alternately, if you prefer to use `#ifdef', your `conf.h.in' could have code like this: /* Define if you have unistd.h. */ #undef HAVE_UNISTD_H On systems that have `unistd.h', `configure' will change the second line to read `#define HAVE_UNISTD_H 1'. On other systems, it will comment that line out (in case the system predefines that symbol). Due to the syntactical bizarreness of the Bourne shell, do not use semicolons to separate `AC_DEFINE' calls from other macro calls or shell code; that can cause syntax errors in the resulting `configure' script. Use either spaces or newlines. That is, do this: AC_HEADER_CHECK(elf.h, AC_DEFINE(SVR4) LIBS="$LIBS -lelf") or this: AC_HEADER_CHECK(elf.h, AC_DEFINE(SVR4) LIBS="$LIBS -lelf") instead of this: AC_HEADER_CHECK(elf.h, AC_DEFINE(SVR4); LIBS="$LIBS -lelf") - Macro: AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED (VARIABLE [, VALUE]) Like `AC_DEFINE', but it does nothing to quote VALUE from various shell and `sed' expansions it will undergo. VALUE will be used in many different contexts requiring different quoting, and it is up to you to make sure it works right. Use this macro instead of `AC_DEFINE' when VALUE contains a shell variable. For example: AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(config_machfile, ${machfile}) - Macro: AC_SUBST (VARIABLE) Substitute the variable VARIABLE when creating the output files (typically one or more `Makefile's). This means replace instances of `@VARIABLE@', e.g. in `Makefile.in', with the current value of the shell variable VARIABLE. If this macro were not called, the value of VARIABLE would not be set in the output files, even though `configure' had figured out a value for it. You can set or add to the value of VARIABLE in the usual shell way. For example, to add `-ltermcap' to the value of the variable `LIBS': LIBS="$LIBS -ltermcap"  File: autoconf.info, Node: Printing Messages, Next: Language Choice, Prev: Setting Variables, Up: General Purpose Macros Printing Messages ================= `configure' scripts need to give users running them several kinds of information. The following macros print messages in ways appropriate for different kinds of information. The arguments to all of them get enclosed in shell double quotes, so the shell performs variable and backquote substitution on them. These macros are all wrappers around the `echo' shell command. Other macros should rarely need to run `echo' directly to print messages for the `configure' user. Using these macros makes it easy to change how and when each kind of message is printed; such changes need only be made to the macro definitions, and all of the callers change automatically. - Macro: AC_CHECKING (FEATURE-DESCRIPTION) Notify the user that `configure' is checking for a particular feature. This macro prints a message that starts with `checking '. It prints nothing if `configure' is run with the `--silent' or `--quiet' option. The FEATURE-DESCRIPTION should be something like `whether the Fortran compiler accepts C++ comments' or `for c89'. - Macro: AC_ERROR (ERROR-DESCRIPTION) Notify the user of an error that prevents `configure' from completing. This macro prints an error message on the standard error stream and exits `configure' with a nonzero status. eRROR-DESCRIPTION should be something like `invalid value $HOME for \$HOME'. - Macro: AC_VERBOSE (RESULT-DESCRIPTION) Notify the user of the results of a check. This information is only printed if `configure' is run with the `--verbose' option. rESULT-DESCRIPTION should be something like `setting ADA to $ADA'. - Macro: AC_WARN (PROBLEM-DESCRIPTION) Notify the `configure' user of a possible problem. This macro prints the message on the standard error stream; `configure' continues running afterward, so macros that call `AC_WARN' should provide a default (back-up) behavior for the situations they warn about. PROBLEM-DESCRIPTION should be something like `ln -s seems to make hard links'.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Language Choice, Next: Macro Ordering, Prev: Printing Messages, Up: General Purpose Macros Language Choice =============== Packages that use both C and C++ need to test features of both compilers. Autoconf-generated `configure' scripts check for C features by default. The following macros determine which language's compiler is used in tests that follow in `configure.in'. - Macro: AC_LANG_C Do compilation tests using `CC' and `CPP' and use extension `.c' for test programs. This is the initial state. - Macro: AC_LANG_CPLUSPLUS Do compilation tests using `CXX' and `CXXCPP' and use extension `.C' for test programs. - Macro: AC_LANG_RESTORE Select the language that is saved on the top of the stack, as set by `AC_LANG_SAVE', and remove it from the stack. This macro is equivalent to either `AC_LANG_C' or `AC_LANG_CPLUSPLUS', whichever had been run most recently when `AC_LANG_SAVE' was last called. Do not call this macro more times than `AC_LANG_SAVE'. - Macro: AC_LANG_SAVE Remember the current language (as set by `AC_LANG_C' or `AC_LANG_CPLUSPLUS') on a stack. Does not change which language is current. Use this macro and `AC_LANG_RESTORE' in macros that need to temporarily switch to a particular language. - Macro: AC_REQUIRE_CPP Ensure that whichever preprocessor would currently be used for tests has been found. Calls `AC_REQUIRE' (*note Macro Ordering::.) with an argument of either `AC_PROG_CPP' or `AC_PROG_CXXCPP', depending on which language is current.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Macro Ordering, Prev: Language Choice, Up: General Purpose Macros Macro Ordering ============== These macros provide ways for other macros to make sure that they are called in the correct order. - Macro: AC_BEFORE (THIS-MACRO-NAME, CALLED-MACRO-NAME) Make `m4' print a warning message on the standard error output if CALLED-MACRO-NAME has already been called. THIS-MACRO-NAME should be the name of the macro that is calling `AC_BEFORE'. The macro CALLED-MACRO-NAME must contain a call to `AC_PROVIDE' to indicate that it has been called. This macro should be used when one macro makes changes that might affect another macro, so that the other macro should probably not be called first. For example, `AC_PROG_CPP' checks whether the C compiler can run the C preprocessor when given the `-E' option. It should therefore be called after any macros that change which C compiler is being used, such as `AC_PROG_CC'. So `AC_PROG_CC' contains: AC_BEFORE([$0], [AC_PROG_CPP]) This warns the user if a call to `AC_PROG_CPP' has already occurred when `AC_PROG_CC' is called. - Macro: AC_OBSOLETE (THIS-MACRO-NAME [, SUGGESTION]) Make `m4' print a message on the standard error output warning that THIS-MACRO-NAME is obsolete, and giving the file and line number where it was called. THIS-MACRO-NAME should be the name of the macro that is calling `AC_BEFORE'. If SUGGESTION is given, it is printed at the end of the warning message; for example, it can be a suggestion for what to use instead of THIS-MACRO-NAME. A sample call is: AC_OBSOLETE([$0], [; use AC_HAVE_HEADERS(unistd.h) instead]) - Macro: AC_PROVIDE (MACRO-NAME) Set a flag recording that MACRO-NAME has been called. The argument should be the name of the macro that is calling `AC_PROVIDE'. An easy way to get it is from the `m4' builtin variable `$0', like this: AC_PROVIDE([$0]) - Macro: AC_REQUIRE (MACRO-NAME) If the `m4' macro MACRO-NAME has not already been called, call it (without any arguments). Make sure to quote MACRO-NAME with square brackets. The body of MACRO-NAME must contain a call to `AC_PROVIDE' to indicate that it has been called. Macros that need some other macro to be called before they are called can use `AC_REQUIRE' to ensure that it has been, in case the person who made `configure.in' forgot or didn't know to do it. `AC_REQUIRE' and `AC_PROVIDE' together can ensure that a macro is only called if it is needed, and only called once. *Note Dependencies Between Macros::, for more information.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Writing Macros, Next: Makefiles, Prev: General Purpose Macros, Up: Top Writing Macros ************** If your package needs to test for some feature that none of the macros supplied with Autoconf handles, you'll need to write one or more new Autoconf macros.

If something goes wrong in one or more of the Autoconf tests, this information can help you understand why they work the way they do and the assumptions behind them, which might help you figure out how to best solve the problem.

File: autoconf.info, Node: Macro Format, Next: Quoting, Up: Writing Macros Macro Format ============ Autoconf macros are defined as arguments to the `m4' builtin command `define'. Their overall structure looks like this: define(MACRO-NAME, [MACRO-BODY])dnl The square brackets here do not indicate optional text: they should literally be present in the macro definition. All of the Autoconf macros have names starting with `AC_' to prevent them from accidentally conflicting with other text. All shell variables that they use for internal purposes have names starting with `ac_'. To ensure that your macros don't conflict with present or future Autoconf macros, you should prefix your own macro names and any shell variables they use with some other sequence. Possibilities include your initials, or an abbreviation for the name of your organization or software package. The `m4' builtin `dnl' prevents a newline from being inserted in the output where the macro is defined; without it, the generated `configure' script would begin with dozens of blank lines. `dnl' is also used to introduce comments in `m4'; it causes `m4' to discard the rest of the input line. You should quote the entire macro body with square brackets to avoid macro expansion problems (*note Quoting::.). You can refer to any arguments passed to the macro as `$1', `$2', etc. *Note How to define new macros: (m4.info)Definitions, for more complete information on writing `m4' macros.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Quoting, Next: Dependencies Between Macros, Prev: Macro Format, Up: Writing Macros Quoting ======= Macros that are called by other macros are evaluated by `m4' several times; each evaluation might require another layer of quotes to prevent unwanted expansions of macros or `m4' builtins, such as `define' and `$1'. Quotes are also required around macro arguments that contain commas, since commas separate the arguments from each other. Autoconf (in `acgeneral.m4') changes the `m4' quote characters from the default ``' and `'' to `[' and `]', because many of the macros use ``' and `'', mismatched. However, in a few places the macros need to use brackets. In those places, they use the `m4' builtin command `changequote' to temporarily disable quoting before the code that uses brackets, like this: changequote(,)dnl Then they turn quoting back on again with another call to `changequote': changequote([,])dnl When you create a `configure' script using newly written macros, examine it carefully to check whether you need to add more quotes in your macros. If one or more words have disappeared in the `m4' output, you need more quotes. When in doubt, quote. However, it's also possible to put on too many layers of quotes. If this happens, the resulting `configure' script will contain unexpanded macros. The `autoconf' program checks for this problem by doing `grep AC_ configure'.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Dependencies Between Macros, Next: Checking for Files, Prev: Quoting, Up: Writing Macros Dependencies Between Macros =========================== Some Autoconf macros depend on other macros having been called first in order to work correctly. Autoconf provides a way to ensure that certain macros are called if needed and a way to warn the user if macros are called in an order that might cause incorrect operation. * Menu: * Prerequisite Macros:: Ensuring required information. * Suggested Ordering:: Warning about possible ordering problems.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Prerequisite Macros, Next: Suggested Ordering, Up: Dependencies Between Macros Prerequisite Macros ------------------- A macro that you write might need to use values that have previously been computed by other macros. For example, if you write a new macro that uses the C preprocessor, it depends on `AC_PROG_CPP' having been called first to set the shell variable `CPP' (*note Alternative Programs::.). Rather than forcing the user of the macros to keep track of all of the dependencies between them, you can use the macros `AC_PROVIDE' and `AC_REQUIRE' to do it automatically. *Note Macro Ordering::, for more information on their syntax. The new macro that runs the C preprocessor should contain, somewhere before `CPP' is used, the statement AC_REQUIRE([AC_PROG_CPP]) and the macro `AC_PROG_CPP' should contain the statement (anywhere in its body) AC_PROVIDE([$0]) Then, when the new macro is run, it will invoke `AC_PROG_CPP' if and only if `AC_PROG_CPP' has not already been run.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Suggested Ordering, Prev: Prerequisite Macros, Up: Dependencies Between Macros Suggested Ordering ------------------ Some macros should be run before another macro if both are called, but neither requires the other to be called. For example, a macro like `AC_AIX' that changes the behavior of the C compiler (*note UNIX Variants::.) should be called before any macros that run the C compiler. Many of these dependencies are noted in the documentation. Autoconf provides a way to warn users when macros with this kind of dependency appear out of order in a `configure.in' file. The warning occurs when creating `configure' from `configure.in', not when running `configure'. It is not a fatal error; `configure' is created as usual. The `AC_BEFORE' macro causes `m4' to print a warning message on the standard error output when a macro is used before another macro which might change its behavior. The macro which should come first should contain a call to `AC_BEFORE' and the macro which should come later should contain a call to `AC_PROVIDE'. For example, `AC_AIX' contains AC_BEFORE([$0], [AC_COMPILE_CHECK]) and `AC_COMPILE_CHECK' contains AC_PROVIDE([$0]) As a result, if `AC_AIX' is called after `AC_COMPILE_CHECK', it will note that `AC_COMPILE_CHECK' has already been called and print a warning message.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Checking for Files, Next: Checking for Symbols, Prev: Dependencies Between Macros, Up: Writing Macros Checking for Files ================== If you need to check whether a file other than a C header file exists, use `test -f FILENAME'. If you need to make multiple checks using `test', combine them with the shell operators `&&' and `||' instead of using the `test' operators `-a' and `-o'. On System V, the precedence of `-a' and `-o' is wrong relative to the unary operators; consequently, POSIX does not specify them, so using them is nonportable. If you combine `&&' and `||' in the same statement, keep in mind that they have equal precedence. Do not use `test -x', because 4.3BSD does not have it. Use `test -f' or `test -r' instead.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Checking for Symbols, Next: Test Programs, Prev: Checking for Files, Up: Writing Macros Checking for Symbols ==================== If you need to check whether a symbol is defined in a C header file, you can use `AC_HEADER_EGREP' if the symbol is not a C preprocessor macro (*note General Feature Tests::.), or compile a small test program that includes the file and references the symbol (*note Test Programs::.). Don't directly `grep' for the symbol in the file, because on some systems it might be defined in another header file that the file you are checking `#include's. However, if you need to check for a particular UNIX variant which is distinguished by having certain text in a certain file, then use `grep' (or `egrep'). But don't use `grep -s' to suppress output, because `grep -s' on System V does not suppress output, only error messages. Instead, redirect the standard output and standard error (in case the file doesn't exist) of `grep' to `/dev/null'. Check the exit status of `grep' to determine whether it found a match. To check whether the Autoconf macros have already defined a certain C preprocessor symbol, you can use a `case' statement like this: case "$DEFS" in *HAVE_FOO*) ;; *) LIBOBJS="$LIBOBJS foo.o" ;; esac Make sure to enclose the variable name you are checking (usually `DEFS') in double quotes, because otherwise some old versions of `bash' misinterpret the statement.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Test Programs, Next: Multiple Cases, Prev: Checking for Symbols, Up: Writing Macros Test Programs ============= Autoconf checks for many features by compiling small test programs. To find out whether a library function is available, Autoconf tries to compile a small program that uses it. This is unlike Larry Wall's Metaconfig, which uses `nm' or `ar' on the C library to try to figure out which functions are available. Trying to link with the function is usually a more reliable and flexible approach because it avoids dealing with the variations in the options and output formats of `nm' and `ar' and in the location of the standard libraries. It also allows `configure' to check aspects of the function's runtime behavior if needed. On the other hand, it is sometimes slower than scanning the libraries. If you need to check for a condition other than whether some symbol exists on the system or has a certain value, then you can't use `AC_COMPILE_CHECK' (*note General Feature Tests::.). You have to write a test program by hand. You can compile and run it using `AC_TEST_PROGRAM' (*note General Feature Tests::.). Try to avoid writing test programs if possible, because using them prevents people from configuring your package for cross-compiling. If it's really best that you test for a run-time behavior, try to provide a default "worst case" value to use when cross-compiling makes run-time tests impossible. You do this by passing the optional last argument to `AC_TEST_PROGRAM'. * Menu: * Guidelines:: General rules for writing test programs. * Tricks:: Special ways to work around problems.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Guidelines, Next: Tricks, Up: Test Programs Guidelines for Test Programs ---------------------------- Test programs should return 0 if the test succeeds, nonzero otherwise, so that success can be distinguished easily from a core dump or other failure; segmentation violations and other failures produce a nonzero exit status. Test programs should `exit', not `return', from `main', because on some systems the argument to `return' in `main' is ignored. They should not write anything to the standard output. Test programs can use `#if' or `#ifdef' to check the values of preprocessor macros defined by tests that have already run. For example, if you call `AC_STDC_HEADERS', then later on in `configure.in' you can have a test program that includes an ANSI C header file conditionally: #if STDC_HEADERS #include #endif If a test program needs to use or create a data file, give it a name that starts with `conftest', such as `conftestdata'. The `configure' script cleans up by running `rm -rf conftest*' after running test programs and if the script is interrupted.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Tricks, Prev: Guidelines, Up: Test Programs Tricks for Test Programs ------------------------ If a test program calls a function with invalid parameters (just to see whether it exists), organize the program to ensure that it never invokes that function. You can do this by calling it in another function that is never invoked. You can't do it by putting it after a call to `exit', because GCC version 2 knows that `exit' never returns and optimizes out any code that follows it in the same block. If you include any header files, make sure to call the functions relevant to them with the correct number of arguments, even if they are just 0, to avoid compilation errors due to prototypes. GCC version 2 has internal prototypes for several functions that it automatically inlines; for example, `memcpy'. To avoid errors when checking for them, either pass them the correct number of arguments or redeclare them with a different return type (such as `char').  File: autoconf.info, Node: Multiple Cases, Prev: Test Programs, Up: Writing Macros Multiple Cases ============== Some operations are accomplished in several possible ways, depending on the UNIX variant. Checking for them essentially requires a "case statement". Autoconf does not directly provide one; however, it is easy to simulate by using a shell variable to keep track of whether a way to perform the operation has been found yet. Here is an example excerpted from the `configure.in' for GNU `find'. It uses the shell variable `fstype' to keep track of whether the remaining cases need to be checked. There are several more cases which are not shown here but follow the same pattern. echo checking how to get filesystem type # SVR4. AC_TEST_CPP([#include #include ], AC_DEFINE(FSTYPE_STATVFS) fstype=1) if test -z "$fstype"; then # SVR3. AC_TEST_CPP([#include #include ], AC_DEFINE(FSTYPE_USG_STATFS) fstype=1) fi if test -z "$fstype"; then # AIX. AC_TEST_CPP([#include #include ], AC_DEFINE(FSTYPE_AIX_STATFS) fstype=1) fi  File: autoconf.info, Node: Makefiles, Next: Invoking configure, Prev: Writing Macros, Up: Top Makefiles ********* Each subdirectory in a distribution should come with a file `Makefile.in', from which `configure' will produce a `Makefile' in that directory. Most of the substitutions that `configure' does are simple: for each configuration variable that the package uses, it just replaces occurrences of `@VARIABLE@' with the value that `configure' has determined for that variable. Any occurrences of `@VARIABLE@' for variables that `configure' does not know about are passed through unchanged. There is no point in checking for the correct value to give a variable that is never used. Every variable that the `configure' script might set a value for should appear in a `@VARIABLE@' reference in at least one `Makefile.in'. If `AC_CONFIG_HEADER' is called, `configure' replaces `@DEFS@' with `-DHAVE_CONFIG_H', since the contents of `DEFS' would be redundant. *Note Makefile Conventions: (standards.info)Makefiles, for more information on what to put in Makefiles. *Note Sample Makefile.in::, for an example of a real `Makefile.in'. * Menu: * Predefined Variables:: Heavily used `make' variables. * Installation Prefixes:: A special variable substitution. * VPATH Substitutions:: Compiling in a different directory. * Automatic Remaking:: Makefile rules for configuring.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Predefined Variables, Next: Installation Prefixes, Up: Makefiles Predefined Variables ==================== Some `make' variables are predefined by the Autoconf macros. `AC_SUBST' is called for them automatically (*note Setting Variables::.), so in your `Makefile.in' files you can get their values by enclosing their names in `@' characters. *Note Makefiles::, for more information on `@' substitutions. The variables that are defined by the general purpose Autoconf macros are: - Variable: exec_prefix The installation prefix for architecture-specific files. - Variable: prefix The installation prefix for architecture-independent files. *Note Installation Prefixes::, for an alternate way to set this variable. - Variable: srcdir The directory that contains the source code for that `Makefile'. *Note Installation Prefixes::, for an alternate way to set this variable. - Variable: top_srcdir The top-level source code directory for the package. In the top-level directory, this is the same as `srcdir'. - Variable: DEFS `-D' options to pass to the C compiler. If `AC_CONFIG_HEADER' is called, `configure' replaces `@DEFS@' with `-DHAVE_CONFIG_H', since the contents of `DEFS' would be redundant. - Variable: LIBS `-l' and `-L' options to pass to the linker. - Variable: LIBOBJS Names of object files (ending in `.o'). Set by `AC_REPLACE_FUNCS' (*note General Feature Tests::.).  File: autoconf.info, Node: Installation Prefixes, Next: VPATH Substitutions, Prev: Predefined Variables, Up: Makefiles Installation Prefixes ===================== Autoconf-generated `configure' scripts support an alternate method for substituting two particular variables, for compatibility with Cygnus `configure'. This method is not recommended. If `configure' has figured out a value for the installation prefix, either by the user supplying one on the command line (*note Invoking configure::.) or with `AC_PREFIX' (*note General Feature Tests::.), then it substitutes that value in `Makefile's that it creates. Wherever a `Makefile.in' contains lines like prefix = /usr/local exec_prefix = ${prefix} `configure' substitutes the value it figured out. The substitution only occurs if the word `prefix' or `exec_prefix' is not preceded by any other characters on the line, and `configure' has figured out a value for the prefix. There can be separate installation prefixes for architecture-specific files (`exec_prefix') and architecture-independent files (`prefix'). *Note Invoking configure::, for more information on setting them. Autoconf `configure' scripts replace these two variables without requiring them to be enclosed in `@' characters, and only if they have been set, because the Cygnus `configure' does so. In retrospect, being compatible in this way was a bad decision, because it created an inconsistency in Autoconf without giving significant benefits. This wart will be removed in a future release of Autoconf.  File: autoconf.info, Node: VPATH Substitutions, Next: Automatic Remaking, Prev: Installation Prefixes, Up: Makefiles `VPATH' Substitutions ===================== You might want to compile a software package in a different directory from the one that contains the source code. Doing this allows you to compile the package for several architectures simultaneously from the same copy of the source code and keep multiple sets of object files on disk. To support doing this, `make' uses the `VPATH' variable to find the files that are in the source directory. GNU `make' and most other recent `make' programs can do this. Older `make' programs do not support `VPATH'; when using them, the source code must be in the same directory as the object files. To support `VPATH', each `Makefile.in' should contain two lines that look like: srcdir = @srcdir@ VPATH = @srcdir@ Do not set `VPATH' to the value of another variable, for example `VPATH = $(srcdir)', because some versions of `make' do not do variable substitutions on the value of `VPATH'. `configure' substitutes in the correct value for `srcdir' when it produces `Makefile.in'. Do not use the `make' variable `$<', which expands to the pathname of the file in the source directory (found with `VPATH'), except in implicit rules. (An implicit rule is one such as `.c.o', which tells how to create a `.o' file from a `.c' file.) Some versions of `make' do not set `$<' in explicit rules; they expand it to an empty value. Instead, `Makefile' command lines should always refer to source files by prefixing them with `$(srcdir)/'. For example: time.info: time.texinfo $(MAKEINFO) $(srcdir)/time.texinfo  File: autoconf.info, Node: Automatic Remaking, Prev: VPATH Substitutions, Up: Makefiles Automatic Remaking ================== You can put rules like the following in the top-level `Makefile.in' for a package to automatically update the configuration information when you change the configuration files. This example includes all of the optional files, such as `aclocal.m4' and those related to configuration header files. Omit from the `Makefile.in' rules any of these files that your package does not use. The `stamp-' files are necessary because the timestamps of `config.h.in' and `config.h' will not be changed if remaking them does not change their contents. This feature avoids unnecessary recompilation. You should include the file `stamp-h.in' your package's distribution, so `make' will consider `config.h.in' up to date. configure: configure.in aclocal.m4 cd ${srcdir} && autoconf # autoheader might not change config.h.in config.h.in: stamp-h.in stamp-h.in: configure.in aclocal.m4 acconfig.h config.h.top cd ${srcdir} && autoheader touch ${srcdir}/stamp-h.in # config.status might not change config.h config.h: stamp-h stamp-h: config.h.in config.status ./config.status touch stamp-h Makefile: Makefile.in config.status ./config.status config.status: configure ./config.status --recheck *Note Invoking config.status::, for more information on handling configuration-related dependencies.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Invoking configure, Next: Example, Prev: Makefiles, Up: Top Running `configure' Scripts *************************** A software package that uses a `configure' script should be distributed with a file `Makefile.in', but no `Makefile'; that way, the user has to properly configure the package for the local system before compiling it. Here is how to configure a package that uses a `configure' script. Normally, you just `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type `./configure'. If you're using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute `configure' itself. Running `configure' takes awhile. While it is running, it prints some messages that tell what it is doing. If you don't want to see any messages, run `configure' with its standard output redirected to `/dev/null'; for example, `./configure >/dev/null'. To compile the package in a different directory from the one containing the source code, you must use a version of `make' that supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'. If for some reason `configure' is not in the source code directory that you are configuring, then it will report that it can't find the source code. In that case, run `configure' with the option `--srcdir=DIR', where DIR is the directory that contains the source code. By default, `make install' will install the package's files in `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the option `--prefix=PATH'. Alternately, you can do so by consistently giving a value for the `prefix' variable when you run `make', e.g., make prefix=/usr/gnu make prefix=/usr/gnu install You can specify separate installation prefixes for architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH' or set the `make' variable `exec_prefix' to PATH, the package will use PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries. Data files and documentation will still use the regular prefix. Normally, all files are installed using the same prefix. Some packages pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options to `configure', where PACKAGE is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). They may also pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options, where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package. The README should mention any `--with-' and `--enable-' options that the package recognizes. `configure' also recognizes the following options: `--help' Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit. `--quiet' `--silent' Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. `--verbose' Print the results of the checks. `--version' Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure' script, and exit. `--x-includes=DIR' X include files are in DIR. `--x-libraries=DIR' X library files are in DIR. `configure' also accepts and ignores some other options. * Menu: * Overriding variables:: Workarounds for unusual systems. * Invoking config.status:: Recreating a configuration.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Overriding variables, Next: Invoking config.status, Up: Invoking configure Overriding variables ==================== On systems that require unusual options for compilation or linking that the package's `configure' script does not know about, you can give `configure' initial values for variables by setting them in the environment. In Bourne-compatible shells, you can do that on the command line like this: CC='gcc -traditional' LIBS=-lposix ./configure On systems that have the `env' program, you can do it like this: env CC='gcc -traditional' LIBS=-lposix ./configure Here are the `make' variables that you might want to override with environment variables when running `configure'. For these variables, any value given in the environment overrides the value that `configure' would choose: - Variable: CC C compiler program. The default is `cc'. - Variable: INSTALL Program to use to install files. The default is `install' if you have it, `cp' otherwise. For these variables, any value given in the environment is added to the value that `configure' chooses: - Variable: DEFS Configuration options, in the form `-Dfoo -Dbar...'. Do not use this variable in packages that create a configuration header file. - Variable: LIBS Libraries to link with, in the form `-lfoo -lbar...'. In the long term, most problems requiring manual intervention should be fixed by updating either the Autoconf macros or the `configure.in' file for that package. *Note Making configure Scripts::, for a discussion of that subject.  File: autoconf.info, Node: Invoking config.status, Prev: Overriding variables, Up: Invoking configure Recreating a Configuration ========================== The `configure' script creates a file named `config.status' which describes which configuration options were specified when the package was last configured. This file is a shell script which, if run, will recreate the same configuration. You can give `config.status' the `--recheck' option to update itself. This option is useful if you change `configure', so that the results of some tests might be different from the previous run. The `--recheck' option re-runs `configure' with the same arguments you used before, plus the `--no-create' option, which prevents `configure' from running `config.status' and creating `Makefile' and other files. (This is so other `Makefile' rules can run `config.status' when it changes; *note Automatic Remaking::., for an example). `config.status' also accepts the options `--help', which prints a summary of the options to `config.status', and `--version', which prints the version of Autoconf used to create the `configure' script that generated `config.status'. `config.status' checks several optional environment variables that can alter its behavior: - Variable: CONFIG_SHELL The shell with which to run `configure' for the `--recheck' option. The default is `/bin/sh'. The following two variables provide one way for separately distributed packages to share the values computed by `configure'. Doing so can be useful if some of the packages need a superset of the features that one of them, perhaps a common library, does. These variables allow a `config.status' file to create files other than the ones that its `configure.in' specifies, so it can be used for a different package. - Variable: CONFIG_FILES The files in which to perform `@VARIABLE@' substitutions. The default is the arguments given to `AC_OUTPUT' in `configure.in'. - Variable: CONFIG_HEADERS The files in which to substitute C `#define' statements. The default is the arguments given to `AC_CONFIG_HEADER'; if that macro was not called, `config.status' ignores this variable. These variables also allow you to write `Makefile' rules that regenerate only some of the files. For example, in the dependencies given above (*note Automatic Remaking::.), `config.status' is run twice when `configure.in' has changed. If that bothers you, you can make each run only regenerate the files for that rule: # config.status might not change config.h config.h: stamp-h stamp-h: config.h.in config.status CONFIG_FILES= CONFIG_HEADERS=config.h ./config.status touch stamp-h Makefile: Makefile.in config.status CONFIG_FILES=Makefile CONFIG_HEADERS= ./config.status (If `configure.in' does not call `AC_CONFIG_HEADER', there is no need to set `CONFIG_HEADERS' in the `make' rules.)

(Or to any other proprietary programs.) If you have a vague recollection of the internals of a Unix program, this does not absolutely mean you can't write an imitation of it, but do try to organize the imitation internally along different lines, because this is likely to make the details of the Unix version irrelevant and dissimilar to your results. For example, Unix utilities were generally optimized to minimize memory use; if you go for speed instead, your program will be very different. You could keep the entire input file in core and scan it there instead of using stdio. Use a smarter algorithm discovered more recently than the Unix program. Eliminate use of temporary files. Do it in one pass instead of two (we did this in the assembler). Or, on the contrary, emphasize simplicity instead of speed. For some applications, the speed of today's computers makes simpler algorithms adequate. Or go for generality. For example, Unix programs often have static tables or fixed-size strings, which make for arbitrary limits; use dynamic allocation instead. Make sure your program handles NULs and other funny characters in the input files. Add a programming language for extensibility and write part of the program in that language. Or turn some parts of the program into independently usable libraries. Or use a simple garbage collector instead of tracking precisely when to free memory, or use a new GNU facility such as obstacks. @node Contributions @chapter Accepting Contributions If someone else sends you a piece of code to add to the program you are working on, we need legal papers to use it---the same sort of legal papers we will need to get from you. @emph{Each} significant contributor to a program must sign some sort of legal papers in order for us to have clear title to the program. The main author alone is not enough. So, before adding in any contributions from other people, tell us so we can arrange to get the papers. Then wait until we tell you that we have received the signed papers, before you actually use the contribution. This applies both before you release the program and afterward. If you receive diffs to fix a bug, and they make significant change, we need legal papers for it. You don't need papers for changes of a few lines here or there, since they are not significant for copyright purposes. Also, you don't need papers if all you get from the suggestion is some ideas, not actual code which you use. For example, if you write a different solution to the problem, you don't need to get papers. I know this is frustrating; it's frustrating for us as well. But if you don't wait, you are going out on a limb---for example, what if the contributor's employer won't sign a disclaimer? You might have to take that code out again! The very worst thing is if you forget to tell us about the other contributor. We could be very embarrassed in court some day as a result. @node Change Logs @chapter Change Logs Keep a change log for each directory, describing the changes made to source files in that directory. The purpose of this is so that people investigating bugs in the future will know about the changes that might have introduced the bug. Often a new bug can be found by looking at what was recently changed. More importantly, change logs can help eliminate conceptual inconsistencies between different parts of a program; they can give you a history of how the conflicting concepts arose. Use the Emacs command @kbd{M-x add-change} to start a new entry in the change log. An entry should have an asterisk, the name of the changed file, and then in parentheses the name of the changed functions, variables or whatever, followed by a colon. Then describe the changes you made to that function or variable. Separate unrelated entries with blank lines. When two entries represent parts of the same change, so that they work together, then don't put blank lines between them. Then you can omit the file name and the asterisk when successive entries are in the same file. Here are some examples: @example * register.el (insert-register): Return nil. (jump-to-register): Likewise. * sort.el (sort-subr): Return nil. * tex-mode.el (tex-bibtex-file, tex-file, tex-region): Restart the tex shell if process is gone or stopped. (tex-shell-running): New function. * expr.c (store_one_arg): Round size up for move_block_to_reg. (expand_call): Round up when emitting USE insns. * stmt.c (assign_parms): Round size up for move_block_from_reg. @end example It's important to name the changed function or variable in full. Don't abbreviate them; don't combine them. Subsequent maintainers will often search for a function name to find all the change log entries that pertain to it; if you abbreviate the name, they won't find it when they search. For example, some people are tempted to abbreviate groups of function names by writing @samp{* register.el (@{insert,jump-to@}-register)}; this is not a good idea, since searching for @code{jump-to-register} or @code{insert-register} would not find the entry. There's no need to describe the full purpose of the changes or how they work together. It is better to put such explanations in comments in the code. That's why just ``New function'' is enough; there is a comment with the function in the source to explain what it does. However, sometimes it is useful to write one line to describe the overall purpose of a large batch of changes. You can think of the change log as a conceptual ``undo list'' which explains how earlier versions were different from the current version. People can see the current version; they don't need the change log to tell them what is in it. What they want from a change log is a clear explanation of how the earlier version differed. When you change the calling sequence of a function in a simple fashion, and you change all the callers of the function, there is no need to make individual entries for all the callers. Just write in the entry for the function being called, ``All callers changed.'' When you change just comments or doc strings, it is enough to write an entry for the file, without mentioning the functions. Write just, ``Doc fix.'' There's no need to keep a change log for documentation files. This is because documentation is not susceptible to bugs that are hard to fix. Documentation does not consist of parts that must interact in a precisely engineered fashion; to correct an error, you need not know the history of the erroneous passage. @node Compatibility @chapter Compatibility with Other Implementations With certain exceptions, utility programs and libraries for GNU should be upward compatible with those in Berkeley Unix, and upward compatible with @sc{ANSI} C if @sc{ANSI} C specifies their behavior, and upward compatible with @sc{POSIX} if @sc{POSIX} specifies their behavior. When these standards conflict, it is useful to offer compatibility modes for each of them. @sc{ANSI} C and @sc{POSIX} prohibit many kinds of extensions. Feel free to make the extensions anyway, and include a @samp{--ansi} or @samp{--compatible} option to turn them off. However, if the extension has a significant chance of breaking any real programs or scripts, then it is not really upward compatible. Try to redesign its interface. Many GNU programs suppress extensions that conflict with POSIX if the environment variable @code{POSIXLY_CORRECT} is defined (even if it is defined with a null value). Please make your program recognize this variable if appropriate. When a feature is used only by users (not by programs or command files), and it is done poorly in Unix, feel free to replace it completely with something totally different and better. (For example, vi is replaced with Emacs.) But it is nice to offer a compatible feature as well. (There is a free vi clone, so we offer it.) Additional useful features not in Berkeley Unix are welcome. Additional programs with no counterpart in Unix may be useful, but our first priority is usually to duplicate what Unix already has. @comment The makefile standards are in a separate file that is also @comment included by make.texinfo. Done by roland@gnu.ai.mit.edu on 1/6/93. @include make-stds.texi @node Configuration @chapter How Configuration Should Work Each GNU distribution should come with a shell script named @code{configure}. This script is given arguments which describe the kind of machine and system you want to compile the program for. The @code{configure} script must record the configuration options so that they affect compilation. One way to do this is to make a link from a standard name such as @file{config.h} to the proper configuration file for the chosen system. If you use this technique, the distribution should @emph{not} contain a file named @file{config.h}. This is so that people won't be able to build the program without configuring it first. Another thing that @code{configure} can do is to edit the Makefile. If you do this, the distribution should @emph{not} contain a file named @file{Makefile}. Instead, include a file @file{Makefile.in} which contains the input used for editing. Once again, this is so that people won't be able to build the program without configuring it first. If @code{configure} does write the @file{Makefile}, then @file{Makefile} should have a target named @file{Makefile} which causes @code{configure} to be rerun, setting up the same configuration that was set up last time. The files that @code{configure} reads should be listed as dependencies of @file{Makefile}. All the files which are output from the @code{configure} script should have comments at the beginning explaining that they were generated automatically using @code{configure}. This is so that users won't think of trying to edit them by hand. The @code{configure} script should write a file named @file{config.status} which describes which configuration options were specified when the program was last configured. This file should be a shell script which, if run, will recreate the same configuration. The @code{configure} script should accept an option of the form @samp{--srcdir=@var{dirname}} to specify the directory where sources are found (if it is not the current directory). This makes it possible to build the program in a separate directory, so that the actual source directory is not modified. If the user does not specify @samp{--srcdir}, then @code{configure} should check both @file{.} and @file{..} to see if it can find the sources. If it finds the sources in one of these places, it should use them from there. Otherwise, it should report that it cannot find the sources, and should exit with nonzero status. Usually the easy way to support @samp{--srcdir} is by editing a definition of @code{VPATH} into the Makefile. Some rules may need to refer explicitly to the specified source directory. To make this possible, @code{configure} can add to the Makefile a variable named @code{srcdir} whose value is precisely the specified directory. The @code{configure} script should also take an argument which specifies the type of system to build the program for. This argument should look like this: @example @var{cpu}-@var{company}-@var{system} @end example For example, a Sun 3 might be @samp{m68k-sun-sunos4.1}. The @code{configure} script needs to be able to decode all plausible alternatives for how to describe a machine. Thus, @samp{sun3-sunos4.1} would be a valid alias. So would @samp{sun3-bsd4.2}, since SunOS is basically @sc{BSD} and no other @sc{BSD} system is used on a Sun. For many programs, @samp{vax-dec-ultrix} would be an alias for @samp{vax-dec-bsd}, simply because the differences between Ultrix and @sc{BSD} are rarely noticeable, but a few programs might need to distinguish them. There is a shell script called @file{config.sub} that you can use as a subroutine to validate system types and canonicalize aliases. Other options are permitted to specify in more detail the software or hardware present on the machine, and include or exclude optional parts of the package: @table @samp @item --enable-@var{feature}@r{[}=@var{parameter}@r{]} Configure the package to build and install an optional user-level facility called @var{feature}. This allows users to choose which optional features to include. Giving an optional @var{parameter} of @samp{no} should omit @var{feature}, if it is built by default. No @samp{--enable} option should @strong{ever} cause one feature to replace another. No @samp{--enable} option should ever substitute one useful behavior for another useful behavior. The only proper use for @samp{--enable} is for questions of whether to build part of the program or exclude it. @item --with-@var{package} @c @r{[}=@var{parameter}@r{]} The package @var{package} will be installed, so configure this package to work with @var{package}. @c Giving an optional @var{parameter} of @c @samp{no} should omit @var{package}, if it is used by default. Possible values of @var{package} include @samp{x}, @samp{x-toolkit}, @samp{gnu-as} (or @samp{gas}), @samp{gnu-ld}, @samp{gnu-libc}, and @samp{gdb}. Do not use a @samp{--with} option to specify the file name to use to find certain files. That is outside the scope of what @samp{--with} options are for. @item --nfp The target machine has no floating point processor. @item --gas The target machine assembler is GAS, the GNU assembler. This is obsolete; users should use @samp{--with-gnu-as} instead. @item --x The target machine has the X Window System installed. This is obsolete; users should use @samp{--with-x} instead. @end table All @code{configure} scripts should accept all of these ``detail'' options, whether or not they make any difference to the particular package at hand. In particular, they should accept any option that starts with @samp{--with-} or @samp{--enable-}. This is so users will be able to configure an entire GNU source tree at once with a single set of options. You will note that the categories @samp{--with-} and @samp{--enable-} are narrow: they @strong{do not} provide a place for any sort of option you might think of. That is deliberate. We want to limit the possible configuration options in GNU software. We do not want GNU programs to have idiosyncratic configuration options. Packages that perform part of compilation may support cross-compilation. In such a case, the host and target machines for the program may be different. The @code{configure} script should normally treat the specified type of system as both the host and the target, thus producing a program which works for the same type of machine that it runs on. The way to build a cross-compiler, cross-assembler, or what have you, is to specify the option @samp{--host=@var{hosttype}} when running @code{configure}. This specifies the host system without changing the type of target system. The syntax for @var{hosttype} is the same as described above. Bootstrapping a cross-compiler requires compiling it on a machine other than the host it will run on. Compilation packages accept a configuration option @samp{--build=@var{hosttype}} for specifying the configuration on which you will compile them, in case that is different from the host. Programs for which cross-operation is not meaningful need not accept the @samp{--host} option, because configuring an entire operating system for cross-operation is not a meaningful thing. Some programs have ways of configuring themselves automatically. If your program is set up to do this, your @code{configure} script can simply ignore most of its arguments. @node Source Language @chapter Using Languages Other Than C Using a language other than C is like using a non-standard feature: it will cause trouble for users. Even if GCC supports the other language, users may find it inconvenient to have to install the compiler for that other language in order to build your program. So please write in C. There are three exceptions for this rule: @itemize @bullet @item It is okay to use a special language if the same program contains an interpreter for that language. Thus, it is not a problem that GNU Emacs contains code written in Emacs Lisp, because it comes with a Lisp interpreter. @item It is okay to use another language in a tool specifically intended for use with that language. This is okay because the only people who want to build the tool will be those who have installed the other language anyway. @item If an application is not of extremely widespread interest, then perhaps it's not important if the application is inconvenient to install. @end itemize @node Formatting @chapter Formatting Your Source Code It is important to put the open-brace that starts the body of a C function in column zero, and avoid putting any other open-brace or open-parenthesis or open-bracket in column zero. Several tools look for open-braces in column zero to find the beginnings of C functions. These tools will not work on code not formatted that way. It is also important for function definitions to start the name of the function in column zero. This helps people to search for function definitions, and may also help certain tools recognize them. Thus, the proper format is this: @example static char * concat (s1, s2) /* Name starts in column zero here */ char *s1, *s2; @{ /* Open brace in column zero here */ @dots{} @} @end example @noindent or, if you want to use @sc{ANSI} C, format the definition like this: @example static char * concat (char *s1, char *s2) @{ @dots{} @} @end example In @sc{ANSI} C, if the arguments don't fit nicely on one line, split it like this: @example int lots_of_args (int an_integer, long a_long, short a_short, double a_double, float a_float) @dots{} @end example For the body of the function, we prefer code formatted like this: @example if (x < foo (y, z)) haha = bar[4] + 5; else @{ while (z) @{ haha += foo (z, z); z--; @} return ++x + bar (); @} @end example We find it easier to read a program when it has spaces before the open-parentheses and after the commas. Especially after the commas. When you split an expression into multiple lines, split it before an operator, not after one. Here is the right way: @example if (foo_this_is_long && bar > win (x, y, z) && remaining_condition) @end example Try to avoid having two operators of different precedence at the same level of indentation. For example, don't write this: @example mode = (inmode[j] == VOIDmode || GET_MODE_SIZE (outmode[j]) > GET_MODE_SIZE (inmode[j]) ? outmode[j] : inmode[j]); @end example Instead, use extra parentheses so that the indentation shows the nesting: @example mode = ((inmode[j] == VOIDmode || (GET_MODE_SIZE (outmode[j]) > GET_MODE_SIZE (inmode[j]))) ? outmode[j] : inmode[j]); @end example Insert extra parentheses so that Emacs will indent the code properly. For example, the following indentation looks nice if you do it by hand, but Emacs would mess it up: @example v = rup->ru_utime.tv_sec*1000 + rup->ru_utime.tv_usec/1000 + rup->ru_stime.tv_sec*1000 + rup->ru_stime.tv_usec/1000; @end example But adding a set of parentheses solves the problem: @example v = (rup->ru_utime.tv_sec*1000 + rup->ru_utime.tv_usec/1000 + rup->ru_stime.tv_sec*1000 + rup->ru_stime.tv_usec/1000); @end example Format do-while statements like this: @example do @{ a = foo (a); @} while (a > 0); @end example Please use formfeed characters (control-L) to divide the program into pages at logical places (but not within a function). It does not matter just how long the pages are, since they do not have to fit on a printed page. The formfeeds should appear alone on lines by themselves. @node Comments @chapter Commenting Your Work Every program should start with a comment saying briefly what it is for. Example: @samp{fmt - filter for simple filling of text}. Please put a comment on each function saying what the function does, what sorts of arguments it gets, and what the possible values of arguments mean and are used for. It is not necessary to duplicate in words the meaning of the C argument declarations, if a C type is being used in its customary fashion. If there is anything nonstandard about its use (such as an argument of type @code{char *} which is really the address of the second character of a string, not the first), or any possible values that would not work the way one would expect (such as, that strings containing newlines are not guaranteed to work), be sure to say so. Also explain the significance of the return value, if there is one. Please put two spaces after the end of a sentence in your comments, so that the Emacs sentence commands will work. Also, please write complete sentences and capitalize the first word. If a lower-case identifer comes at the beginning of a sentence, don't capitalize it! Changing the spelling makes it a different identifier. If you don't like starting a sentence with a lower case letter, write the sentence differently (e.g., ``The identifier lower-case is @dots{}''). The comment on a function is much clearer if you use the argument names to speak about the argument values. The variable name itself should be lower case, but write it in upper case when you are speaking about the value rather than the variable itself. Thus, ``the inode number NODE_NUM'' rather than ``an inode''. There is usually no purpose in restating the name of the function in the comment before it, because the reader can see that for himself. There might be an exception when the comment is so long that the function itself would be off the bottom of the screen. There should be a comment on each static variable as well, like this: @example /* Nonzero means truncate lines in the display; zero means continue them. */ int truncate_lines; @end example Every @samp{#endif} should have a comment, except in the case of short conditionals (just a few lines) that are not nested. The comment should state the condition of the conditional that is ending, @emph{including its sense}. @samp{#else} should have a comment describing the condition @emph{and sense} of the code that follows. For example: @example #ifdef foo @dots{} #else /* not foo */ @dots{} #endif /* not foo */ @end example @noindent but, by contrast, write the comments this way for a @samp{#ifndef}: @example #ifndef foo @dots{} #else /* foo */ @dots{} #endif /* foo */ @end example @node Syntactic Conventions @chapter Clean Use of C Constructs Please explicitly declare all arguments to functions. Don't omit them just because they are @code{int}s. Declarations of external functions and functions to appear later in the source file should all go in one place near the beginning of the file (somewhere before the first function definition in the file), or else should go in a header file. Don't put @code{extern} declarations inside functions. It used to be common practice to use the same local variables (with names like @code{tem}) over and over for different values within one function. Instead of doing this, it is better declare a separate local variable for each distinct purpose, and give it a name which is meaningful. This not only makes programs easier to understand, it also facilitates optimization by good compilers. You can also move the declaration of each local variable into the smallest scope that includes all its uses. This makes the program even cleaner. Don't use local variables or parameters that shadow global identifiers. Don't declare multiple variables in one declaration that spans lines. Start a new declaration on each line, instead. For example, instead of this: @example int foo, bar; @end example @noindent write either this: @example int foo, bar; @end example @noindent or this: @example int foo; int bar; @end example @noindent (If they are global variables, each should have a comment preceding it anyway.) When you have an @code{if}-@code{else} statement nested in another @code{if} statement, always put braces around the @code{if}-@code{else}. Thus, never write like this: @example if (foo) if (bar) win (); else lose (); @end example @noindent always like this: @example if (foo) @{ if (bar) win (); else lose (); @} @end example If you have an @code{if} statement nested inside of an @code{else} statement, either write @code{else if} on one line, like this, @example if (foo) @dots{} else if (bar) @dots{} @end example @noindent with its @code{then}-part indented like the preceding @code{then}-part, or write the nested @code{if} within braces like this: @example if (foo) @dots{} else @{ if (bar) @dots{} @} @end example Don't declare both a structure tag and variables or typedefs in the same declaration. Instead, declare the structure tag separately and then use it to declare the variables or typedefs. Try to avoid assignments inside @code{if}-conditions. For example, don't write this: @example if ((foo = (char *) malloc (sizeof *foo)) == 0) fatal ("virtual memory exhausted"); @end example @noindent instead, write this: @example foo = (char *) malloc (sizeof *foo); if (foo == 0) fatal ("virtual memory exhausted"); @end example Don't make the program ugly to placate @code{lint}. Please don't insert any casts to @code{void}. Zero without a cast is perfectly fine as a null pointer constant. @node Names @chapter Naming Variables and Functions Please use underscores to separate words in a name, so that the Emacs word commands can be useful within them. Stick to lower case; reserve upper case for macros and @code{enum} constants, and for name-prefixes that follow a uniform convention. For example, you should use names like @code{ignore_space_change_flag}; don't use names like @code{iCantReadThis}. Variables that indicate whether command-line options have been specified should be named after the meaning of the option, not after the option-letter. A comment should state both the exact meaning of the option and its letter. For example, @example /* Ignore changes in horizontal whitespace (-b). */ int ignore_space_change_flag; @end example When you want to define names with constant integer values, use @code{enum} rather than @samp{#define}. GDB knows about enumeration constants. Use file names of 14 characters or less, to avoid creating gratuitous problems on System V. You can use the program @code{doschk} to test for this. @code{doschk} also tests for potential name conflicts if the files were loaded onto an MS-DOS file system---something you may or may not care about. @node Using Extensions @chapter Using Non-standard Features Many GNU facilities that already exist support a number of convenient extensions over the comparable Unix facilities. Whether to use these extensions in implementing your program is a difficult question. On the one hand, using the extensions can make a cleaner program. On the other hand, people will not be able to build the program unless the other GNU tools are available. This might cause the program to work on fewer kinds of machines. With some extensions, it might be easy to provide both alternatives. For example, you can define functions with a ``keyword'' @code{INLINE} and define that as a macro to expand into either @code{inline} or nothing, depending on the compiler. In general, perhaps it is best not to use the extensions if you can straightforwardly do without them, but to use the extensions if they are a big improvement. An exception to this rule are the large, established programs (such as Emacs) which run on a great variety of systems. Such programs would be broken by use of GNU extensions. Another exception is for programs that are used as part of compilation: anything that must be compiled with other compilers in order to bootstrap the GNU compilation facilities. If these require the GNU compiler, then no one can compile them without having them installed already. That would be no good. Since most computer systems do not yet implement @sc{ANSI} C, using the @sc{ANSI} C features is effectively using a GNU extension, so the same considerations apply. (Except for @sc{ANSI} features that we discourage, such as trigraphs---don't ever use them.) @node System Functions @chapter Calling System Functions C implementations differ substantially. ANSI C reduces but does not eliminate the incompatibilities; meanwhile, many users wish to compile GNU software with pre-ANSI compilers. This chapter gives recommendations for how to use the more or less standard C library functions to avoid unnecessary loss of portability. @itemize @bullet @item Don't use the value of @code{sprintf}. It returns the number of characters written on some systems, but not on all systems. @item Don't declare system functions explicitly. Almost any declaration for a system function is wrong on some system. To minimize conflicts, leave it to the system header files to declare system functions. If the headers don't declare a function, let it remain undeclared. While it may seem unclean to use a function without declaring it, in practice this works fine for most system library functions on the systems where this really happens. The problem is only theoretical. By contrast, actual declarations have frequently caused actual conflicts. @item If you must declare a system function, don't specify the argument types. Use an old-style declaration, not an ANSI prototype. The more you specify about the function, the more likely a conflict. @item In particular, don't unconditionally declare @code{malloc} or @code{realloc}. Most GNU programs use those functions just once, in functions conventionally named @code{xmalloc} and @code{xrealloc}. These functions call @code{malloc} and @code{realloc}, respectively, and check the results. Because @code{xmalloc} and @code{xrealloc} are defined in your program, you can declare them in other files without any risk of type conflict. On most systems, @code{int} is the same length as a pointer; thus, the calls to @code{malloc} and @code{realloc} work fine. For the few exceptional systems (mostly 64-bit machines), you can use @strong{conditionalized} declarations of @code{malloc} and @code{realloc}---or put these declarations in configuration files specific to those systems. @item The string functions require special treatment. Some Unix systems have a header file @file{string.h}; other have @file{strings.h}. Neither file name is portable. There are two things you can do: use Autoconf to figure out which file to include, or don't include either file. @item If you don't include either strings file, you can't get declarations for the string functions from the header file in the usual way. That causes less of a problem than you might think. The newer ANSI string functions are off-limits anyway because many systems still don't support them. The string functions you can use are these: @example strcpy strncpy strcat strncat strlen strcmp strncmp strchr strrchr @end example The copy and concatenate functions work fine without a declaration as long as you don't use their values. Using their values without a declaration fails on systems where the width of a pointer differs from the width of @code{int}, and perhaps in other cases. It is trivial to avoid using their values, so do that. The compare functions and @code{strlen} work fine without a declaration on most systems, possibly all the ones that GNU software runs on. You may find it necessary to declare them @strong{conditionally} on a few systems. The search functions must be declared to return @code{char *}. Luckily, there is no variation in the data type they return. But there is variation in their names. Some systems give these functions the names @code{index} and @code{rindex}; other systems use the names @code{strchr} and @code{strrchr}. Some systems support both pairs of names, but neither pair works on all systems. You should pick a single pair of names and use it throughout your program. (Nowadays, it is better to choose @code{strchr} and @code{strrchr}.) Declare both of those names as functions returning @code{char *}. On systems which don't support those names, define them as macros in terms of the other pair. For example, here is what to put at the beginning of your file (or in a header) if you want to use the names @code{strchr} and @code{strrchr} throughout: @example #ifndef HAVE_STRCHR #define strchr index #endif #ifndef HAVE_STRRCHR #define strrchr rindex #endif char *strchr (); char *strrchr (); @end example @end itemize Here we assume that @code{HAVE_STRCHR} and @code{HAVE_STRRCHR} are macros defined in systems where the corresponding functions exist. One way to get them properly defined is to use Autoconf. @node Semantics @chapter Program Behavior for All Programs Avoid arbitrary limits on the length or number of @emph{any} data structure, including filenames, lines, files, and symbols, by allocating all data structures dynamically. In most Unix utilities, ``long lines are silently truncated''. This is not acceptable in a GNU utility. Utilities reading files should not drop NUL characters, or any other nonprinting characters @emph{including those with codes above 0177}. The only sensible exceptions would be utilities specifically intended for interface to certain types of printers that can't handle those characters. Check every system call for an error return, unless you know you wish to ignore errors. Include the system error text (from @code{perror} or equivalent) in @emph{every} error message resulting from a failing system call, as well as the name of the file if any and the name of the utility. Just ``cannot open foo.c'' or ``stat failed'' is not sufficient. Check every call to @code{malloc} or @code{realloc} to see if it returned zero. Check @code{realloc} even if you are making the block smaller; in a system that rounds block sizes to a power of 2, @code{realloc} may get a different block if you ask for less space. In Unix, @code{realloc} can destroy the storage block if it returns zero. GNU @code{realloc} does not have this bug: if it fails, the original block is unchanged. Feel free to assume the bug is fixed. If you wish to run your program on Unix, and wish to avoid lossage in this case, you can use the GNU @code{malloc}. You must expect @code{free} to alter the contents of the block that was freed. Anything you want to fetch from the block, you must fetch before calling @code{free}. Use @code{getopt_long} to decode arguments, unless the argument syntax makes this unreasonable. When static storage is to be written in during program execution, use explicit C code to initialize it. Reserve C initialized declarations for data that will not be changed. Try to avoid low-level interfaces to obscure Unix data structures (such as file directories, utmp, or the layout of kernel memory), since these are less likely to work compatibly. If you need to find all the files in a directory, use @code{readdir} or some other high-level interface. These will be supported compatibly by GNU. By default, the GNU system will provide the signal handling functions of @sc{BSD} and of @sc{POSIX}. So GNU software should be written to use these. In error checks that detect ``impossible'' conditions, just abort. There is usually no point in printing any message. These checks indicate the existence of bugs. Whoever wants to fix the bugs will have to read the source code and run a debugger. So explain the problem with comments in the source. The relevant data will be in variables, which are easy to examine with the debugger, so there is no point moving them elsewhere. @node Errors @chapter Formatting Error Messages Error messages from compilers should look like this: @example @var{source-file-name}:@var{lineno}: @var{message} @end example Error messages from other noninteractive programs should look like this: @example @var{program}:@var{source-file-name}:@var{lineno}: @var{message} @end example @noindent when there is an appropriate source file, or like this: @example @var{program}: @var{message} @end example @noindent when there is no relevant source file. In an interactive program (one that is reading commands from a terminal), it is better not to include the program name in an error message. The place to indicate which program is running is in the prompt or with the screen layout. (When the same program runs with input from a source other than a terminal, it is not interactive and would do best to print error messages using the noninteractive style.) The string @var{message} should not begin with a capital letter when it follows a program name and/or filename. Also, it should not end with a period. Error messages from interactive programs, and other messages such as usage messages, should start with a capital letter. But they should not end with a period. @node Libraries @chapter Library Behavior Try to make library functions reentrant. If they need to do dynamic storage allocation, at least try to avoid any nonreentrancy aside from that of @code{malloc} itself. Here are certain name conventions for libraries, to avoid name conflicts. Choose a name prefix for the library, more than two characters long. All external function and variable names should start with this prefix. In addition, there should only be one of these in any given library member. This usually means putting each one in a separate source file. An exception can be made when two external symbols are always used together, so that no reasonable program could use one without the other; then they can both go in the same file. External symbols that are not documented entry points for the user should have names beginning with @samp{_}. They should also contain the chosen name prefix for the library, to prevent collisions with other libraries. These can go in the same files with user entry points if you like. Static functions and variables can be used as you like and need not fit any naming convention. @node Portability @chapter Portability As It Applies to GNU Much of what is called ``portability'' in the Unix world refers to porting to different Unix versions. This is a secondary consideration for GNU software, because its primary purpose is to run on top of one and only one kernel, the GNU kernel, compiled with one and only one C compiler, the GNU C compiler. The amount and kinds of variation among GNU systems on different cpu's will be like the variation among Berkeley 4.3 systems on different cpu's. All users today run GNU software on non-GNU systems. So supporting a variety of non-GNU systems is desirable; simply not paramount. The easiest way to achieve portability to a reasonable range of systems is to use Autoconf. It's unlikely that your program needs to know more information about the host machine than Autoconf can provide, simply because most of the programs that need such knowledge have already been written. It is difficult to be sure exactly what facilities the GNU kernel will provide, since it isn't finished yet. Therefore, assume you can use anything in 4.3; just avoid using the format of semi-internal data bases (e.g., directories) when there is a higher-level alternative (@code{readdir}). You can freely assume any reasonably standard facilities in the C language, libraries or kernel, because we will find it necessary to support these facilities in the full GNU system, whether or not we have already done so. The fact that there may exist kernels or C compilers that lack these facilities is irrelevant as long as the GNU kernel and C compiler support them. It remains necessary to worry about differences among cpu types, such as the difference in byte ordering and alignment restrictions. It's unlikely that 16-bit machines will ever be supported by GNU, so there is no point in spending any time to consider the possibility that an int will be less than 32 bits. You can assume that all pointers have the same format, regardless of the type they point to, and that this is really an integer. There are some weird machines where this isn't true, but they aren't important; don't waste time catering to them. Besides, eventually we will put function prototypes into all GNU programs, and that will probably make your program work even on weird machines. Since some important machines (including the 68000) are big-endian, it is important not to assume that the address of an @code{int} object is also the address of its least-significant byte. Thus, don't make the following mistake: @example int c; @dots{} while ((c = getchar()) != EOF) write(file_descriptor, &c, 1); @end example You can assume that it is reasonable to use a meg of memory. Don't strain to reduce memory usage unless it can get to that level. If your program creates complicated data structures, just make them in core and give a fatal error if malloc returns zero. If a program works by lines and could be applied to arbitrary user-supplied input files, it should keep only a line in memory, because this is not very hard and users will want to be able to operate on input files that are bigger than will fit in core all at once. @node User Interfaces @chapter Standards for Command Line Interfaces Please don't make the behavior of a utility depend on the name used to invoke it. It is useful sometimes to make a link to a utility with a different name, and that should not change what it does. Instead, use a run time option or a compilation switch or both to select among the alternate behaviors. Likewise, please don't make the behavior of the program depend on the type of output device it is used with. Device independence is an important principle of the system's design; do not compromise it merely to save someone from typing an option now and then. If you think one behavior is most useful when the output is to a terminal, and another is most useful when the output is a file or a pipe, then it is usually best to make the default behavior the one that is useful with output to a terminal, and have an option for the other behavior. Compatibility requires certain programs to depend on the type of output device. It would be disastrous if @code{ls} or @code{sh} did not do so in the way all users expect. In some of these cases, we supplement the program with a preferred alternate version that does not depend on the output device type. For example, we provide a @code{dir} program much like @code{ls} except that its default output format is always multi-column format. It is a good idea to follow the @sc{POSIX} guidelines for the command-line options of a program. The easiest way to do this is to use @code{getopt} to parse them. Note that the GNU version of @code{getopt} will normally permit options anywhere among the arguments unless the special argument @samp{--} is used. This is not what @sc{POSIX} specifies; it is a GNU extension. Please define long-named options that are equivalent to the single-letter Unix-style options. We hope to make GNU more user friendly this way. This is easy to do with the GNU function @code{getopt_long}. One of the advantages of long-named options is that they can be consistent from program to program. For example, users should be able to expect the ``verbose'' option of any GNU program which has one, to be spelled precisely @samp{--verbose}. To achieve this uniformity, look at the table of common long-option names when you choose the option names for your program. The table appears below. If you use names not already in the table, please send @samp{gnu@@prep.ai.mit.edu} a list of them, with their meanings, so we can update the table. It is usually a good idea for file names given as ordinary arguments to be input files only; any output files would be specified using options (preferably @samp{-o}). Even if you allow an output file name as an ordinary argument for compatibility, try to provide a suitable option as well. This will lead to more consistency among GNU utilities, so that there are fewer idiosyncracies for users to remember. Programs should support an option @samp{--version} which prints the program's version number on standard output and exits successfully, and an option @samp{--help} which prints option usage information on standard output and exits successfully. These options should inhibit the normal function of the command; they should do nothing except print the requested information. @c Please leave newlines between items in this table; it's much easier @c to update when it isn't completely squashed together and unreadable. @c When there is more than one short option for a long option name, put @c a semicolon between the lists of the programs that use them, not a @c period. --friedman @table @samp @item auto-check @samp{-a} in @code{recode}. @item auto-reference @samp{-A} in @code{ptx}. @item after-date @samp{-N} in @code{tar}. @item all @samp{-a} in @code{du}, @code{ls}, @code{nm}, @code{stty}, @code{uname}, and @code{unexpand}. @item all-text @samp{-a} in @code{diff}. @item almost-all @samp{-A} in @code{ls}. @item append @samp{-a} in @code{etags}, @code{tee}, @code{time}; @samp{-r} in @code{tar}. @item archive @samp{-a} in @code{cp}. @item arglength @samp{-l} in @code{m4}. @item ascii @samp{-a} in @code{diff}. @item assume-new @samp{-W} in Make. @item assume-old @samp{-o} in Make. @item backward-search @samp{-B} in etags. @item batch Used in GDB. @item baud Used in GDB. @item before @samp{-b} in @code{tac}. @item binary @samp{-b} in @code{cpio} and @code{diff}. @item block-size Used in @code{cpio} and @code{tar}. @item blocks @samp{-b} in @code{head} and @code{tail}. @item break-file @samp{-b} in @code{ptx}. @item brief Used in various programs to make output shorter. @item bytes @samp{-c} in @code{head}, @code{split}, and @code{tail}. @item c++ @samp{-C} in @code{etags}. @item catenate @samp{-A} in @code{tar}. @item cd Used in various programs to specify the directory to use. @item changes @samp{-c} in @code{chgrp} and @code{chown}. @item classify @samp{-F} in @code{ls}. @item colons @samp{-c} in @code{recode}. @item command @samp{-c} in @code{su}; @samp{-x} in GDB. @item compare @samp{-d} in @code{tar}. @item compress @samp{-Z} in @code{tar}. @item concatenate @samp{-A} in @code{tar}. @item confirmation @samp{-w} in @code{tar}. @item context Used in @code{diff}. @item copyright @samp{-C} in @code{ptx} and @code{recode}. @item core Used in GDB. @item count @samp{-q} in @code{who}. @item count-links @samp{-l} in @code{du}. @item create Used in @code{tar} and @code{cpio}. @item cxref @samp{-x} in @code{etags}. @item date @samp{-d} in @code{touch}. @item debug @samp{-d} in Make and @code{m4}; @samp{-t} in Bison. @item define @samp{-D} in @code{m4}. @item defines @samp{-d} in Bison and @code{etags}. @item delete @samp{-D} in @code{tar}. @item dereference @samp{-L} in @code{chgrp}, @code{chown}, @code{cpio}, @code{du}, @code{ls}, and @code{tar}. @item dereference-args @samp{-D} in @code{du}. @item diacritics @samp{-d} in @code{recode}. @item dictionary-order @samp{-d} in @code{look}. @item diff @samp{-d} in @code{tar}. @item digits @samp{-n} in @code{csplit}. @item directory Specify the directory to use, in various programs.

See the Texinfo manual, either the hardcopy or the version in the GNU Emacs Info subsystem (@kbd{C-h i}). See existing GNU Texinfo files (e.g., those under the @file{man/} directory in the GNU Emacs distribution) for examples. The title page of the manual should state the version of the program which the manual applies to. The Top node of the manual should also contain this information. If the manual is changing more frequently than or independent of the program, also state a version number for the manual in both of these places. The manual should document all command-line arguments and all commands. It should give examples of their use. But don't organize the manual as a list of features. Instead, organize it by the concepts a user will have before reaching that point in the manual. Address the goals that a user will have in mind, and explain how to accomplish them. Don't use Unix man pages as a model for how to write GNU documentation; they are a bad example to follow. The manual should have a node named @samp{@var{program} Invocation} or @samp{Invoking @var{program}}, where @var{program} stands for the name of the program being described, as you would type it in the shell to run the program. This node (together with its subnodes, if any) should describe the program's command line arguments and how to run it (the sort of information people would look in a man page for). Start with an @samp{@@example} containing a template for all the options and arguments that the program uses. Alternatively, put a menu item in some menu whose item name fits one of the above patterns. This identifies the node which that item points to as the node for this purpose, regardless of the node's actual name. There will be automatic features for specifying a program name and quickly reading just this part of its manual. If one manual describes several programs, it should have such a node for each program described. In addition to its manual, the package should have a file named @file{NEWS} which contains a list of user-visible changes worth mentioning. In each new release, add items to the front of the file and identify the version they pertain to. Don't discard old items; leave them in the file after the newer items. This way, a user upgrading from any previous version can see what is new. If the @file{NEWS} file gets very long, move some of the older items into a file named @file{ONEWS} and put a note at the end referring the user to that file. Please do not use the term ``pathname'' that is used in Unix documentation; use ``file name'' (two words) instead. We use the term ``path'' only for search paths, which are lists of file names. It is ok to supply a man page for the program as well as a Texinfo manual if you wish to. But keep in mind that supporting a man page requires continual effort, each time the program is changed. Any time you spend on the man page is time taken away from more useful things you could contribute. Thus, even if a user volunteers to donate a man page, you may find this gift costly to accept. Unless you have time on your hands, it may be better to refuse the man page unless the same volunteer agrees to take full responsibility for maintaining it---so that you can wash your hands of it entirely. If the volunteer ceases to do the job, then don't feel obliged to pick it up yourself; it may be better to withdraw the man page until another volunteer offers to carry on with it. Alternatively, if you expect the discrepancies to be small enough that the man page remains useful, put a prominent note near the beginning of the man page explaining that you don't maintain it and that the Texinfo manual is more authoritative, and describing how to access the Texinfo documentation. @node Releases @chapter Making Releases Package the distribution of Foo version 69.96 in a gzipped tar file named @file{foo-69.96.tar.gz}. It should unpack into a subdirectory named @file{foo-69.96}. Building and installing the program should never modify any of the files contained in the distribution. This means that all the files that form part of the program in any way must be classified into @dfn{source files} and @dfn{non-source files}. Source files are written by humans and never changed automatically; non-source files are produced from source files by programs under the control of the Makefile. Naturally, all the source files must be in the distribution. It is okay to include non-source files in the distribution, provided they are up-to-date and machine-independent, so that building the distribution normally will never modify them. We commonly include non-source files produced by Bison, Lex, @TeX{}, and Makeinfo; this helps avoid unnecessary dependencies between our distributions, so that users can install whichever packages they want to install. Non-source files that might actually be modified by building and installing the program should @strong{never} be included in the distribution. So if you do distribute non-source files, always make sure they are up to date when you make a new distribution. Make sure that the directory into which the distribution unpacks (as well as any subdirectories) are all world-writable (octal mode 777). This is so that old versions of @code{tar} which preserve the ownership and permissions of the files from the tar archive will be able to extract all the files even if the user is unprivileged. Make sure that all the files in the distribution are world-readable. Make sure that no file name in the distribution is more than 14 characters long. Likewise, no file created by building the program should have a name longer than 14 characters. The reason for this is that some systems adhere to a foolish interpretation of the POSIX standard, and refuse to open a longer name, rather than truncating as they did in the past. Don't include any symbolic links in the distribution itself. If the tar file contains symbolic links, then people cannot even unpack it on systems that don't support symbolic links. Also, don't use multiple names for one file in different directories, because certain file systems cannot handle this and that prevents unpacking the distribution. Try to make sure that all the file names will be unique on MS-DOG. A name on MS-DOG consists of up to 8 characters, optionally followed by a period and up to three characters. MS-DOG will truncate extra characters both before and after the period. Thus, @file{foobarhacker.c} and @file{foobarhacker.o} are not ambiguous; they are truncated to @file{foobarha.c} and @file{foobarha.o}, which are distinct. Include in your distribution a copy of the @file{texinfo.tex} you used to test print any @file{*.texinfo} files. Likewise, if your program uses small GNU software packages like regex, getopt, obstack, or termcap, include them in the distribution file. Leaving them out would make the distribution file a little smaller at the expense of possible inconvenience to a user who doesn't know what other files to get. @contents @bye autoconf-1.11/make-stds.texi100666 21570 1 47721 5432340100 14331 0ustar djmdaemon@comment This file is included by both standards.texi and make.texinfo. @comment It was broken out of standards.texi on 1/6/93 by roland. @node Makefile Conventions @chapter Makefile Conventions @comment standards.texi does not print an index, but make.texinfo does. @cindex makefile, conventions for @cindex conventions for makefiles @cindex standards for makefiles This chapter describes conventions for writing the Makefiles for GNU programs. @menu * Makefile Basics:: * Utilities in Makefiles:: * Standard Targets:: * Command Variables:: * Directory Variables:: @end menu @node Makefile Basics @section General Conventions for Makefiles Every Makefile should contain this line: @example SHELL = /bin/sh @end example @noindent to avoid trouble on systems where the @code{SHELL} variable might be inherited from the environment. (This is never a problem with GNU @code{make}.) Don't assume that @file{.} is in the path for command execution. When you need to run programs that are a part of your package during the make, please make sure that it uses @file{./} if the program is built as part of the make or @file{$(srcdir)/} if the file is an unchanging part of the source code. Without one of these prefixes, the current search path is used. The distinction between @file{./} and @file{$(srcdir)/} is important when using the @samp{--srcdir} option to @file{configure}. A rule of the form: @smallexample foo.1 : foo.man sedscript sed -e sedscript foo.man > foo.1 @end smallexample @noindent will fail when the current directory is not the source directory, because @file{foo.man} and @file{sedscript} are not in the current directory. When using GNU @code{make}, relying on @samp{VPATH} to find the source file will work in the case where there is a single dependency file, since the @file{make} automatic variable @samp{$<} will represent the source file wherever it is. (Many versions of @code{make} set @samp{$<} only in implicit rules.) A makefile target like @smallexample foo.o : bar.c $(CC) -I. -I$(srcdir) $(CFLAGS) -c bar.c -o foo.o @end smallexample @noindent should instead be written as @smallexample foo.o : bar.c $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $< -o $@@ @end smallexample @noindent in order to allow @samp{VPATH} to work correctly. When the target has multiple dependencies, using an explicit @samp{$(srcdir)} is the easiest way to make the rule work well. For example, the target above for @file{foo.1} is best written as: @smallexample foo.1 : foo.man sedscript sed -s $(srcdir)/sedscript $(srcdir)/foo.man > foo.1 @end smallexample @node Utilities in Makefiles @section Utilities in Makefiles Write the Makefile commands (and any shell scripts, such as @code{configure}) to run in @code{sh}, not in @code{csh}. Don't use any special features of @code{ksh} or @code{bash}. The @code{configure} script and the Makefile rules for building and installation should not use any utilities directly except these: @example cat cmp cp echo egrep expr grep ln mkdir mv pwd rm rmdir sed test touch @end example Stick to the generally supported options for these programs. For example, don't use @samp{mkdir -p}, convenient as it may be, because most systems don't support it. The Makefile rules for building and installation can also use compilers and related programs, but should do so via @code{make} variables so that the user can substitute alternatives. Here are some of the programs we mean: @example ar bison cc flex install ld lex make makeinfo ranlib texi2dvi yacc @end example When you use @code{ranlib}, you should test whether it exists, and run it only if it exists, so that the distribution will work on systems that don't have @code{ranlib}. If you use symbolic links, you should implement a fallback for systems that don't have symbolic links. It is ok to use other utilities in Makefile portions (or scripts) intended only for particular systems where you know those utilities to exist. @node Standard Targets @section Standard Targets for Users All GNU programs should have the following targets in their Makefiles: @table @samp @item all Compile the entire program. This should be the default target. This target need not rebuild any documentation files; Info files should normally be included in the distribution, and DVI files should be made only when explicitly asked for. @item install Compile the program and copy the executables, libraries, and so on to the file names where they should reside for actual use. If there is a simple test to verify that a program is properly installed, this target should run that test. The commands should create all the directories in which files are to be installed, if they don't already exist. This includes the directories specified as the values of the variables @code{prefix} and @code{exec_prefix}, as well as all subdirectories that are needed. One way to do this is by means of an @code{installdirs} target as described below. Use @samp{-} before any command for installing a man page, so that @code{make} will ignore any errors. This is in case there are systems that don't have the Unix man page documentation system installed. The way to install Info files is to copy them into @file{$(infodir)} with @code{$(INSTALL_DATA)} (@pxref{Command Variables}), and then run the @code{install-info} program if it is present. @code{install-info} is a script that edits the Info @file{dir} file to add or update the menu entry for the given Info file; it will be part of the Texinfo package. Here is a sample rule to install an Info file: @comment This example has been carefully formatted for the Make manual. @comment Please do not reformat it without talking to roland@gnu.ai.mit.edu. @smallexample $(infodir)/foo.info: foo.info # There may be a newer info file in . than in srcdir. -if test -f foo.info; then d=.; \ else d=$(srcdir); fi; \ $(INSTALL_DATA) $$d/foo.info $@@; \ # Run install-info only if it exists. # Use `if' instead of just prepending `-' to the # line so we notice real errors from install-info. # We use `$(SHELL) -c' because some shells do not # fail gracefully when there is an unknown command. if $(SHELL) -c 'install-info --version' \ >/dev/null 2>&1; then \ install-info --infodir=$(infodir) $$d/foo.info; \ else true; fi @end smallexample @item uninstall Delete all the installed files that the @samp{install} target would create (but not the noninstalled files such as @samp{make all} would create). @comment The gratuitous blank line here is to make the table look better @comment in the printed Make manual. Please leave it in. @item clean Delete all files from the current directory that are normally created by building the program. Don't delete the files that record the configuration. Also preserve files that could be made by building, but normally aren't because the distribution comes with them. Delete @file{.dvi} files here if they are not part of the distribution. @item distclean Delete all files from the current directory that are created by configuring or building the program. If you have unpacked the source and built the program without creating any other files, @samp{make distclean} should leave only the files that were in the distribution. @item mostlyclean Like @samp{clean}, but may refrain from deleting a few files that people normally don't want to recompile. For example, the @samp{mostlyclean} target for GCC does not delete @file{libgcc.a}, because recompiling it is rarely necessary and takes a lot of time. @item realclean Delete everything from the current directory that can be reconstructed with this Makefile. This typically includes everything deleted by @code{distclean}, plus more: C source files produced by Bison, tags tables, Info files, and so on. One exception, however: @samp{make realclean} should not delete @file{configure} even if @file{configure} can be remade using a rule in the Makefile. More generally, @samp{make realclean} should not delete anything that needs to exist in order to run @file{configure} and then begin to build the program. @item TAGS Update a tags table for this program. @item info Generate any Info files needed. The best way to write the rules is as follows: @smallexample info: foo.info foo.info: foo.texi chap1.texi chap2.texi $(MAKEINFO) $(srcdir)/foo.texi @end smallexample @noindent You must define the variable @code{MAKEINFO} in the Makefile. It should run the @code{makeinfo} program, which is part of the Texinfo distribution. @item dvi Generate DVI files for all TeXinfo documentation. For example: @smallexample dvi: foo.dvi foo.dvi: foo.texi chap1.texi chap2.texi $(TEXI2DVI) $(srcdir)/foo.texi @end smallexample @noindent You must define the variable @code{TEXI2DVI} in the Makefile. It should run the program @code{texi2dvi}, which is part of the Texinfo distribution. Alternatively, write just the dependencies, and allow GNU Make to provide the command. @item dist Create a distribution tar file for this program. The tar file should be set up so that the file names in the tar file start with a subdirectory name which is the name of the package it is a distribution for. This name can include the version number. For example, the distribution tar file of GCC version 1.40 unpacks into a subdirectory named @file{gcc-1.40}. The easiest way to do this is to create a subdirectory appropriately named, use @code{ln} or @code{cp} to install the proper files in it, and then @code{tar} that subdirectory. The @code{dist} target should explicitly depend on all non-source files that are in the distribution, to make sure they are up to date in the distribution. @xref{Releases, , Making Releases, standards, GNU Coding Standards}. @item check Perform self-tests (if any). The user must build the program before running the tests, but need not install the program; you should write the self-tests so that they work when the program is built but not installed. @end table The following targets are suggested as conventional names, for programs in which they are useful. @table @code @item installcheck Perform installation tests (if any). The user must build and install the program before running the tests. You should not assume that @file{$(bindir)} is in the search path. @item installdirs It's useful to add a target named @samp{installdirs} to create the directories where files are installed, and their parent directories. There is a script called @file{mkinstalldirs} which is convenient for this; find it in the Texinfo package.@c It's in /gd/gnu/lib/mkinstalldirs. You can use a rule like this: @comment This has been carefully formatted to look decent in the Make manual. @comment Please be sure not to make it extend any further to the right.--roland @smallexample # Make sure all installation directories (e.g. $(bindir)) # actually exist by making them if necessary. installdirs: mkinstalldirs $(srcdir)/mkinstalldirs $(bindir) $(datadir) \ $(libdir) $(infodir) \ $(mandir) @end smallexample @end table @node Command Variables @section Variables for Specifying Commands Makefiles should provide variables for overriding certain commands, options, and so on. In particular, you should run most utility programs via variables. Thus, if you use Bison, have a variable named @code{BISON} whose default value is set with @samp{BISON = bison}, and refer to it with @code{$(BISON)} whenever you need to use Bison. File management utilities such as @code{ln}, @code{rm}, @code{mv}, and so on, need not be referred to through variables in this way, since users don't need to replace them with other programs. Each program-name variable should come with an options variable that is used to supply options to the program. Append @samp{FLAGS} to the program-name variable name to get the options variable name---for example, @code{BISONFLAGS}. (The name @code{CFLAGS} is an exception to this rule, but we keep it because it is standard.) Use @code{CPPFLAGS} in any compilation command that runs the preprocessor, and use @code{LDFLAGS} in any compilation command that does linking as well as in any direct use of @code{ld}. If there are C compiler options that @emph{must} be used for proper compilation of certain files, do not include them in @code{CFLAGS}. Users expect to be able to specify @code{CFLAGS} freely themselves. Instead, arrange to pass the necessary options to the C compiler independently of @code{CFLAGS}, by writing them explicitly in the compilation commands or by defining an implicit rule, like this: @smallexample CFLAGS = -g ALL_CFLAGS = -I. $(CFLAGS) .c.o: $(CC) -c $(CPPFLAGS) $(ALL_CFLAGS) $< @end smallexample Do include the @samp{-g} option in @code{CFLAGS}, because that is not @emph{required} for proper compilation. You can consider it a default that is only recommended. If the package is set up so that it is compiled with GCC by default, then you might as well include @samp{-O} in the default value of @code{CFLAGS} as well. Put @code{CFLAGS} last in the compilation command, after other variables containing compiler options, so the user can use @code{CFLAGS} to override the others. Every Makefile should define the variable @code{INSTALL}, which is the basic command for installing a file into the system. Every Makefile should also define the variables @code{INSTALL_PROGRAM} and @code{INSTALL_DATA}. (The default for each of these should be @code{$(INSTALL)}.) Then it should use those variables as the commands for actual installation, for executables and nonexecutables respectively. Use these variables as follows: @example $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) foo $(bindir)/foo $(INSTALL_DATA) libfoo.a $(libdir)/libfoo.a @end example @noindent Always use a file name, not a directory name, as the second argument of the installation commands. Use a separate command for each file to be installed. @node Directory Variables @section Variables for Installation Directories Installation directories should always be named by variables, so it is easy to install in a nonstandard place. The standard names for these variables are: @table @samp @item prefix A prefix used in constructing the default values of the variables listed below. The default value of @code{prefix} should be @file{/usr/local} (at least for now). @item exec_prefix A prefix used in constructing the default values of some of the variables listed below. The default value of @code{exec_prefix} should be @code{$(prefix)}. Generally, @code{$(exec_prefix)} is used for directories that contain machine-specific files (such as executables and subroutine libraries), while @code{$(prefix)} is used directly for other directories. @item bindir The directory for installing executable programs that users can run. This should normally be @file{/usr/local/bin}, but write it as @file{$(exec_prefix)/bin}. @item libdir The directory for installing executable files to be run by the program rather than by users. Object files and libraries of object code should also go in this directory. The idea is that this directory is used for files that pertain to a specific machine architecture, but need not be in the path for commands. The value of @code{libdir} should normally be @file{/usr/local/lib}, but write it as @file{$(exec_prefix)/lib}. @item datadir The directory for installing read-only data files which the programs refer to while they run. This directory is used for files which are independent of the type of machine being used. This should normally be @file{/usr/local/lib}, but write it as @file{$(prefix)/lib}. @item statedir The directory for installing data files which the programs modify while they run. These files should be independent of the type of machine being used, and it should be possible to share them among machines at a network installation. This should normally be @file{/usr/local/lib}, but write it as @file{$(prefix)/lib}. @item includedir @c rewritten to avoid overfull hbox --roland The directory for installing header files to be included by user programs with the C @samp{#include} preprocessor directive. This should normally be @file{/usr/local/include}, but write it as @file{$(prefix)/include}. Most compilers other than GCC do not look for header files in @file{/usr/local/include}. So installing the header files this way is only useful with GCC. Sometimes this is not a problem because some libraries are only really intended to work with GCC. But some libraries are intended to work with other compilers. They should install their header files in two places, one specified by @code{includedir} and one specified by @code{oldincludedir}. @item oldincludedir The directory for installing @samp{#include} header files for use with compilers other than GCC. This should normally be @file{/usr/include}. The Makefile commands should check whether the value of @code{oldincludedir} is empty. If it is, they should not try to use it; they should cancel the second installation of the header files. A package should not replace an existing header in this directory unless the header came from the same package. Thus, if your Foo package provides a header file @file{foo.h}, then it should install the header file in the @code{oldincludedir} directory if either (1) there is no @file{foo.h} there or (2) the @file{foo.h} that exists came from the Foo package. To tell whether @file{foo.h} came from the Foo package, put a magic string in the file---part of a comment---and grep for that string. @item mandir The directory for installing the man pages (if any) for this package. It should include the suffix for the proper section of the manual---usually @samp{1} for a utility. It will normally be @file{/usr/local/man/man1}, but you should write it as @file{$(prefix)/man/man1}. @item man1dir The directory for installing section 1 man pages. @item man2dir The directory for installing section 2 man pages. @item @dots{} Use these names instead of @samp{mandir} if the package needs to install man pages in more than one section of the manual. @strong{Don't make the primary documentation for any GNU software be a man page. Write a manual in Texinfo instead. Man pages are just for the sake of people running GNU software on Unix, which is a secondary application only.} @item manext The file name extension for the installed man page. This should contain a period followed by the appropriate digit; it should normally be @samp{.1}. @item man1ext The file name extension for installed section 1 man pages. @item man2ext The file name extension for installed section 2 man pages. @item @dots{} Use these names instead of @samp{manext} if the package needs to install man pages in more than one section of the manual. @item infodir The directory for installing the Info files for this package. By default, it should be @file{/usr/local/info}, but it should be written as @file{$(prefix)/info}. @item srcdir The directory for the sources being compiled. The value of this variable is normally inserted by the @code{configure} shell script. @end table For example: @smallexample @c I have changed some of the comments here slightly to fix an overfull @c hbox, so the make manual can format correctly. --roland # Common prefix for installation directories. # NOTE: This directory must exist when you start the install. prefix = /usr/local exec_prefix = $(prefix) # Where to put the executable for the command `gcc'. bindir = $(exec_prefix)/bin # Where to put the directories used by the compiler. libdir = $(exec_prefix)/lib # Where to put the Info files. infodir = $(prefix)/info @end smallexample If your program installs a large number of files into one of the standard user-specified directories, it might be useful to group them into a subdirectory particular to that program. If you do this, you should write the @code{install} rule to create these subdirectories. Do not expect the user to include the subdirectory name in the value of any of the variables listed above. The idea of having a uniform set of variable names for installation directories is to enable the user to specify the exact same values for several different GNU packages. In order for this to be useful, all the packages must be designed so that they will work sensibly when the user does so. autoconf-1.11/standards.info100666 21570 1 252307 5553101232 14431 0ustar djmdaemonThis is Info file standards.info, produced by Makeinfo-1.55 from the input file ./standards.texi.

(Or to any other proprietary programs.) If you have a vague recollection of the internals of a Unix program, this does not absolutely mean you can't write an imitation of it, but do try to organize the imitation internally along different lines, because this is likely to make the details of the Unix version irrelevant and dissimilar to your results. For example, Unix utilities were generally optimized to minimize memory use; if you go for speed instead, your program will be very different. You could keep the entire input file in core and scan it there instead of using stdio. Use a smarter algorithm discovered more recently than the Unix program. Eliminate use of temporary files. Do it in one pass instead of two (we did this in the assembler). Or, on the contrary, emphasize simplicity instead of speed. For some applications, the speed of today's computers makes simpler algorithms adequate. Or go for generality. For example, Unix programs often have static tables or fixed-size strings, which make for arbitrary limits; use dynamic allocation instead. Make sure your program handles NULs and other funny characters in the input files. Add a programming language for extensibility and write part of the program in that language. Or turn some parts of the program into independently usable libraries. Or use a simple garbage collector instead of tracking precisely when to free memory, or use a new GNU facility such as obstacks.  File: standards.info, Node: Contributions, Next: Change Logs, Prev: Reading Non-Free Code, Up: Top Accepting Contributions *********************** If someone else sends you a piece of code to add to the program you are working on, we need legal papers to use it--the same sort of legal papers we will need to get from you. *Each* significant contributor to a program must sign some sort of legal papers in order for us to have clear title to the program. The main author alone is not enough. So, before adding in any contributions from other people, tell us so we can arrange to get the papers. Then wait until we tell you that we have received the signed papers, before you actually use the contribution. This applies both before you release the program and afterward. If you receive diffs to fix a bug, and they make significant change, we need legal papers for it. You don't need papers for changes of a few lines here or there, since they are not significant for copyright purposes. Also, you don't need papers if all you get from the suggestion is some ideas, not actual code which you use. For example, if you write a different solution to the problem, you don't need to get papers. I know this is frustrating; it's frustrating for us as well. But if you don't wait, you are going out on a limb--for example, what if the contributor's employer won't sign a disclaimer? You might have to take that code out again! The very worst thing is if you forget to tell us about the other contributor. We could be very embarrassed in court some day as a result.  File: standards.info, Node: Change Logs, Next: Compatibility, Prev: Contributions, Up: Top Change Logs *********** Keep a change log for each directory, describing the changes made to source files in that directory. The purpose of this is so that people investigating bugs in the future will know about the changes that might have introduced the bug. Often a new bug can be found by looking at what was recently changed. More importantly, change logs can help eliminate conceptual inconsistencies between different parts of a program; they can give you a history of how the conflicting concepts arose. Use the Emacs command `M-x add-change' to start a new entry in the change log. An entry should have an asterisk, the name of the changed file, and then in parentheses the name of the changed functions, variables or whatever, followed by a colon. Then describe the changes you made to that function or variable. Separate unrelated entries with blank lines. When two entries represent parts of the same change, so that they work together, then don't put blank lines between them. Then you can omit the file name and the asterisk when successive entries are in the same file. Here are some examples: * register.el (insert-register): Return nil. (jump-to-register): Likewise. * sort.el (sort-subr): Return nil. * tex-mode.el (tex-bibtex-file, tex-file, tex-region): Restart the tex shell if process is gone or stopped. (tex-shell-running): New function. * expr.c (store_one_arg): Round size up for move_block_to_reg. (expand_call): Round up when emitting USE insns. * stmt.c (assign_parms): Round size up for move_block_from_reg. It's important to name the changed function or variable in full. Don't abbreviate them; don't combine them. Subsequent maintainers will often search for a function name to find all the change log entries that pertain to it; if you abbreviate the name, they won't find it when they search. For example, some people are tempted to abbreviate groups of function names by writing `* register.el ({insert,jump-to}-register)'; this is not a good idea, since searching for `jump-to-register' or `insert-register' would not find the entry. There's no need to describe the full purpose of the changes or how they work together. It is better to put such explanations in comments in the code. That's why just "New function" is enough; there is a comment with the function in the source to explain what it does. However, sometimes it is useful to write one line to describe the overall purpose of a large batch of changes. You can think of the change log as a conceptual "undo list" which explains how earlier versions were different from the current version. People can see the current version; they don't need the change log to tell them what is in it. What they want from a change log is a clear explanation of how the earlier version differed. When you change the calling sequence of a function in a simple fashion, and you change all the callers of the function, there is no need to make individual entries for all the callers. Just write in the entry for the function being called, "All callers changed." When you change just comments or doc strings, it is enough to write an entry for the file, without mentioning the functions. Write just, "Doc fix." There's no need to keep a change log for documentation files. This is because documentation is not susceptible to bugs that are hard to fix. Documentation does not consist of parts that must interact in a precisely engineered fashion; to correct an error, you need not know the history of the erroneous passage.  File: standards.info, Node: Compatibility, Next: Makefile Conventions, Prev: Change Logs, Up: Top Compatibility with Other Implementations **************************************** With certain exceptions, utility programs and libraries for GNU should be upward compatible with those in Berkeley Unix, and upward compatible with ANSI C if ANSI C specifies their behavior, and upward compatible with POSIX if POSIX specifies their behavior. When these standards conflict, it is useful to offer compatibility modes for each of them. ANSI C and POSIX prohibit many kinds of extensions. Feel free to make the extensions anyway, and include a `--ansi' or `--compatible' option to turn them off. However, if the extension has a significant chance of breaking any real programs or scripts, then it is not really upward compatible. Try to redesign its interface. Many GNU programs suppress extensions that conflict with POSIX if the environment variable `POSIXLY_CORRECT' is defined (even if it is defined with a null value). Please make your program recognize this variable if appropriate. When a feature is used only by users (not by programs or command files), and it is done poorly in Unix, feel free to replace it completely with something totally different and better. (For example, vi is replaced with Emacs.) But it is nice to offer a compatible feature as well. (There is a free vi clone, so we offer it.) Additional useful features not in Berkeley Unix are welcome. Additional programs with no counterpart in Unix may be useful, but our first priority is usually to duplicate what Unix already has.  File: standards.info, Node: Makefile Conventions, Next: Configuration, Prev: Compatibility, Up: Top Makefile Conventions ******************** This chapter describes conventions for writing the Makefiles for GNU programs. * Menu: * Makefile Basics:: * Utilities in Makefiles:: * Standard Targets:: * Command Variables:: * Directory Variables::  File: standards.info, Node: Makefile Basics, Next: Utilities in Makefiles, Up: Makefile Conventions General Conventions for Makefiles ================================= Every Makefile should contain this line: SHELL = /bin/sh to avoid trouble on systems where the `SHELL' variable might be inherited from the environment. (This is never a problem with GNU `make'.) Don't assume that `.' is in the path for command execution. When you need to run programs that are a part of your package during the make, please make sure that it uses `./' if the program is built as part of the make or `$(srcdir)/' if the file is an unchanging part of the source code. Without one of these prefixes, the current search path is used. The distinction between `./' and `$(srcdir)/' is important when using the `--srcdir' option to `configure'. A rule of the form: foo.1 : foo.man sedscript sed -e sedscript foo.man > foo.1 will fail when the current directory is not the source directory, because `foo.man' and `sedscript' are not in the current directory. When using GNU `make', relying on `VPATH' to find the source file will work in the case where there is a single dependency file, since the `make' automatic variable `$<' will represent the source file wherever it is. (Many versions of `make' set `$<' only in implicit rules.) A makefile target like foo.o : bar.c $(CC) -I. -I$(srcdir) $(CFLAGS) -c bar.c -o foo.o should instead be written as foo.o : bar.c $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $< -o $@ in order to allow `VPATH' to work correctly. When the target has multiple dependencies, using an explicit `$(srcdir)' is the easiest way to make the rule work well. For example, the target above for `foo.1' is best written as: foo.1 : foo.man sedscript sed -s $(srcdir)/sedscript $(srcdir)/foo.man > foo.1  File: standards.info, Node: Utilities in Makefiles, Next: Standard Targets, Prev: Makefile Basics, Up: Makefile Conventions Utilities in Makefiles ====================== Write the Makefile commands (and any shell scripts, such as `configure') to run in `sh', not in `csh'. Don't use any special features of `ksh' or `bash'. The `configure' script and the Makefile rules for building and installation should not use any utilities directly except these: cat cmp cp echo egrep expr grep ln mkdir mv pwd rm rmdir sed test touch Stick to the generally supported options for these programs. For example, don't use `mkdir -p', convenient as it may be, because most systems don't support it. The Makefile rules for building and installation can also use compilers and related programs, but should do so via `make' variables so that the user can substitute alternatives. Here are some of the programs we mean: ar bison cc flex install ld lex make makeinfo ranlib texi2dvi yacc When you use `ranlib', you should test whether it exists, and run it only if it exists, so that the distribution will work on systems that don't have `ranlib'. If you use symbolic links, you should implement a fallback for systems that don't have symbolic links. It is ok to use other utilities in Makefile portions (or scripts) intended only for particular systems where you know those utilities to exist.  File: standards.info, Node: Standard Targets, Next: Command Variables, Prev: Utilities in Makefiles, Up: Makefile Conventions Standard Targets for Users ========================== All GNU programs should have the following targets in their Makefiles: `all' Compile the entire program. This should be the default target. This target need not rebuild any documentation files; Info files should normally be included in the distribution, and DVI files should be made only when explicitly asked for. `install' Compile the program and copy the executables, libraries, and so on to the file names where they should reside for actual use. If there is a simple test to verify that a program is properly installed, this target should run that test. The commands should create all the directories in which files are to be installed, if they don't already exist. This includes the directories specified as the values of the variables `prefix' and `exec_prefix', as well as all subdirectories that are needed. One way to do this is by means of an `installdirs' target as described below. Use `-' before any command for installing a man page, so that `make' will ignore any errors. This is in case there are systems that don't have the Unix man page documentation system installed. The way to install Info files is to copy them into `$(infodir)' with `$(INSTALL_DATA)' (*note Command Variables::.), and then run the `install-info' program if it is present. `install-info' is a script that edits the Info `dir' file to add or update the menu entry for the given Info file; it will be part of the Texinfo package. Here is a sample rule to install an Info file: $(infodir)/foo.info: foo.info # There may be a newer info file in . than in srcdir. -if test -f foo.info; then d=.; \ else d=$(srcdir); fi; \ $(INSTALL_DATA) $$d/foo.info $@; \ # Run install-info only if it exists. # Use `if' instead of just prepending `-' to the # line so we notice real errors from install-info. # We use `$(SHELL) -c' because some shells do not # fail gracefully when there is an unknown command. if $(SHELL) -c 'install-info --version' \ >/dev/null 2>&1; then \ install-info --infodir=$(infodir) $$d/foo.info; \ else true; fi `uninstall' Delete all the installed files that the `install' target would create (but not the noninstalled files such as `make all' would create). `clean' Delete all files from the current directory that are normally created by building the program. Don't delete the files that record the configuration. Also preserve files that could be made by building, but normally aren't because the distribution comes with them. Delete `.dvi' files here if they are not part of the distribution. `distclean' Delete all files from the current directory that are created by configuring or building the program. If you have unpacked the source and built the program without creating any other files, `make distclean' should leave only the files that were in the distribution. `mostlyclean' Like `clean', but may refrain from deleting a few files that people normally don't want to recompile. For example, the `mostlyclean' target for GCC does not delete `libgcc.a', because recompiling it is rarely necessary and takes a lot of time. `realclean' Delete everything from the current directory that can be reconstructed with this Makefile. This typically includes everything deleted by `distclean', plus more: C source files produced by Bison, tags tables, Info files, and so on. One exception, however: `make realclean' should not delete `configure' even if `configure' can be remade using a rule in the Makefile. More generally, `make realclean' should not delete anything that needs to exist in order to run `configure' and then begin to build the program. `TAGS' Update a tags table for this program. `info' Generate any Info files needed. The best way to write the rules is as follows: info: foo.info foo.info: foo.texi chap1.texi chap2.texi $(MAKEINFO) $(srcdir)/foo.texi You must define the variable `MAKEINFO' in the Makefile. It should run the `makeinfo' program, which is part of the Texinfo distribution. `dvi' Generate DVI files for all TeXinfo documentation. For example: dvi: foo.dvi foo.dvi: foo.texi chap1.texi chap2.texi $(TEXI2DVI) $(srcdir)/foo.texi You must define the variable `TEXI2DVI' in the Makefile. It should run the program `texi2dvi', which is part of the Texinfo distribution. Alternatively, write just the dependencies, and allow GNU Make to provide the command. `dist' Create a distribution tar file for this program. The tar file should be set up so that the file names in the tar file start with a subdirectory name which is the name of the package it is a distribution for. This name can include the version number. For example, the distribution tar file of GCC version 1.40 unpacks into a subdirectory named `gcc-1.40'. The easiest way to do this is to create a subdirectory appropriately named, use `ln' or `cp' to install the proper files in it, and then `tar' that subdirectory. The `dist' target should explicitly depend on all non-source files that are in the distribution, to make sure they are up to date in the distribution. *Note Making Releases: (standards)Releases. `check' Perform self-tests (if any). The user must build the program before running the tests, but need not install the program; you should write the self-tests so that they work when the program is built but not installed. The following targets are suggested as conventional names, for programs in which they are useful. `installcheck' Perform installation tests (if any). The user must build and install the program before running the tests. You should not assume that `$(bindir)' is in the search path. `installdirs' It's useful to add a target named `installdirs' to create the directories where files are installed, and their parent directories. There is a script called `mkinstalldirs' which is convenient for this; find it in the Texinfo package.You can use a rule like this: # Make sure all installation directories (e.g. $(bindir)) # actually exist by making them if necessary. installdirs: mkinstalldirs $(srcdir)/mkinstalldirs $(bindir) $(datadir) \ $(libdir) $(infodir) \ $(mandir)  File: standards.info, Node: Command Variables, Next: Directory Variables, Prev: Standard Targets, Up: Makefile Conventions Variables for Specifying Commands ================================= Makefiles should provide variables for overriding certain commands, options, and so on. In particular, you should run most utility programs via variables. Thus, if you use Bison, have a variable named `BISON' whose default value is set with `BISON = bison', and refer to it with `$(BISON)' whenever you need to use Bison. File management utilities such as `ln', `rm', `mv', and so on, need not be referred to through variables in this way, since users don't need to replace them with other programs. Each program-name variable should come with an options variable that is used to supply options to the program. Append `FLAGS' to the program-name variable name to get the options variable name--for example, `BISONFLAGS'. (The name `CFLAGS' is an exception to this rule, but we keep it because it is standard.) Use `CPPFLAGS' in any compilation command that runs the preprocessor, and use `LDFLAGS' in any compilation command that does linking as well as in any direct use of `ld'. If there are C compiler options that *must* be used for proper compilation of certain files, do not include them in `CFLAGS'. Users expect to be able to specify `CFLAGS' freely themselves. Instead, arrange to pass the necessary options to the C compiler independently of `CFLAGS', by writing them explicitly in the compilation commands or by defining an implicit rule, like this: CFLAGS = -g ALL_CFLAGS = -I. $(CFLAGS) .c.o: $(CC) -c $(CPPFLAGS) $(ALL_CFLAGS) $< Do include the `-g' option in `CFLAGS', because that is not *required* for proper compilation. You can consider it a default that is only recommended. If the package is set up so that it is compiled with GCC by default, then you might as well include `-O' in the default value of `CFLAGS' as well. Put `CFLAGS' last in the compilation command, after other variables containing compiler options, so the user can use `CFLAGS' to override the others. Every Makefile should define the variable `INSTALL', which is the basic command for installing a file into the system. Every Makefile should also define the variables `INSTALL_PROGRAM' and `INSTALL_DATA'. (The default for each of these should be `$(INSTALL)'.) Then it should use those variables as the commands for actual installation, for executables and nonexecutables respectively. Use these variables as follows: $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) foo $(bindir)/foo $(INSTALL_DATA) libfoo.a $(libdir)/libfoo.a Always use a file name, not a directory name, as the second argument of the installation commands. Use a separate command for each file to be installed.  File: standards.info, Node: Directory Variables, Prev: Command Variables, Up: Makefile Conventions Variables for Installation Directories ====================================== Installation directories should always be named by variables, so it is easy to install in a nonstandard place. The standard names for these variables are: `prefix' A prefix used in constructing the default values of the variables listed below. The default value of `prefix' should be `/usr/local' (at least for now). `exec_prefix' A prefix used in constructing the default values of some of the variables listed below. The default value of `exec_prefix' should be `$(prefix)'. Generally, `$(exec_prefix)' is used for directories that contain machine-specific files (such as executables and subroutine libraries), while `$(prefix)' is used directly for other directories. `bindir' The directory for installing executable programs that users can run. This should normally be `/usr/local/bin', but write it as `$(exec_prefix)/bin'. `libdir' The directory for installing executable files to be run by the program rather than by users. Object files and libraries of object code should also go in this directory. The idea is that this directory is used for files that pertain to a specific machine architecture, but need not be in the path for commands. The value of `libdir' should normally be `/usr/local/lib', but write it as `$(exec_prefix)/lib'. `datadir' The directory for installing read-only data files which the programs refer to while they run. This directory is used for files which are independent of the type of machine being used. This should normally be `/usr/local/lib', but write it as `$(prefix)/lib'. `statedir' The directory for installing data files which the programs modify while they run. These files should be independent of the type of machine being used, and it should be possible to share them among machines at a network installation. This should normally be `/usr/local/lib', but write it as `$(prefix)/lib'. `includedir' The directory for installing header files to be included by user programs with the C `#include' preprocessor directive. This should normally be `/usr/local/include', but write it as `$(prefix)/include'. Most compilers other than GCC do not look for header files in `/usr/local/include'. So installing the header files this way is only useful with GCC. Sometimes this is not a problem because some libraries are only really intended to work with GCC. But some libraries are intended to work with other compilers. They should install their header files in two places, one specified by `includedir' and one specified by `oldincludedir'. `oldincludedir' The directory for installing `#include' header files for use with compilers other than GCC. This should normally be `/usr/include'. The Makefile commands should check whether the value of `oldincludedir' is empty. If it is, they should not try to use it; they should cancel the second installation of the header files. A package should not replace an existing header in this directory unless the header came from the same package. Thus, if your Foo package provides a header file `foo.h', then it should install the header file in the `oldincludedir' directory if either (1) there is no `foo.h' there or (2) the `foo.h' that exists came from the Foo package. To tell whether `foo.h' came from the Foo package, put a magic string in the file--part of a comment--and grep for that string. `mandir' The directory for installing the man pages (if any) for this package. It should include the suffix for the proper section of the manual--usually `1' for a utility. It will normally be `/usr/local/man/man1', but you should write it as `$(prefix)/man/man1'. `man1dir' The directory for installing section 1 man pages. `man2dir' The directory for installing section 2 man pages. `...' Use these names instead of `mandir' if the package needs to install man pages in more than one section of the manual. *Don't make the primary documentation for any GNU software be a man page. Write a manual in Texinfo instead. Man pages are just for the sake of people running GNU software on Unix, which is a secondary application only.* `manext' The file name extension for the installed man page. This should contain a period followed by the appropriate digit; it should normally be `.1'. `man1ext' The file name extension for installed section 1 man pages. `man2ext' The file name extension for installed section 2 man pages. `...' Use these names instead of `manext' if the package needs to install man pages in more than one section of the manual. `infodir' The directory for installing the Info files for this package. By default, it should be `/usr/local/info', but it should be written as `$(prefix)/info'. `srcdir' The directory for the sources being compiled. The value of this variable is normally inserted by the `configure' shell script. For example: # Common prefix for installation directories. # NOTE: This directory must exist when you start the install. prefix = /usr/local exec_prefix = $(prefix) # Where to put the executable for the command `gcc'. bindir = $(exec_prefix)/bin # Where to put the directories used by the compiler. libdir = $(exec_prefix)/lib # Where to put the Info files. infodir = $(prefix)/info If your program installs a large number of files into one of the standard user-specified directories, it might be useful to group them into a subdirectory particular to that program. If you do this, you should write the `install' rule to create these subdirectories. Do not expect the user to include the subdirectory name in the value of any of the variables listed above. The idea of having a uniform set of variable names for installation directories is to enable the user to specify the exact same values for several different GNU packages. In order for this to be useful, all the packages must be designed so that they will work sensibly when the user does so.  File: standards.info, Node: Configuration, Next: Source Language, Prev: Makefile Conventions, Up: Top How Configuration Should Work ***************************** Each GNU distribution should come with a shell script named `configure'. This script is given arguments which describe the kind of machine and system you want to compile the program for. The `configure' script must record the configuration options so that they affect compilation. One way to do this is to make a link from a standard name such as `config.h' to the proper configuration file for the chosen system. If you use this technique, the distribution should *not* contain a file named `config.h'. This is so that people won't be able to build the program without configuring it first. Another thing that `configure' can do is to edit the Makefile. If you do this, the distribution should *not* contain a file named `Makefile'. Instead, include a file `Makefile.in' which contains the input used for editing. Once again, this is so that people won't be able to build the program without configuring it first. If `configure' does write the `Makefile', then `Makefile' should have a target named `Makefile' which causes `configure' to be rerun, setting up the same configuration that was set up last time. The files that `configure' reads should be listed as dependencies of `Makefile'. All the files which are output from the `configure' script should have comments at the beginning explaining that they were generated automatically using `configure'. This is so that users won't think of trying to edit them by hand. The `configure' script should write a file named `config.status' which describes which configuration options were specified when the program was last configured. This file should be a shell script which, if run, will recreate the same configuration. The `configure' script should accept an option of the form `--srcdir=DIRNAME' to specify the directory where sources are found (if it is not the current directory). This makes it possible to build the program in a separate directory, so that the actual source directory is not modified. If the user does not specify `--srcdir', then `configure' should check both `.' and `..' to see if it can find the sources. If it finds the sources in one of these places, it should use them from there. Otherwise, it should report that it cannot find the sources, and should exit with nonzero status. Usually the easy way to support `--srcdir' is by editing a definition of `VPATH' into the Makefile. Some rules may need to refer explicitly to the specified source directory. To make this possible, `configure' can add to the Makefile a variable named `srcdir' whose value is precisely the specified directory. The `configure' script should also take an argument which specifies the type of system to build the program for. This argument should look like this: CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM For example, a Sun 3 might be `m68k-sun-sunos4.1'. The `configure' script needs to be able to decode all plausible alternatives for how to describe a machine. Thus, `sun3-sunos4.1' would be a valid alias. So would `sun3-bsd4.2', since SunOS is basically BSD and no other BSD system is used on a Sun. For many programs, `vax-dec-ultrix' would be an alias for `vax-dec-bsd', simply because the differences between Ultrix and BSD are rarely noticeable, but a few programs might need to distinguish them. There is a shell script called `config.sub' that you can use as a subroutine to validate system types and canonicalize aliases. Other options are permitted to specify in more detail the software or hardware present on the machine, and include or exclude optional parts of the package: `--enable-FEATURE[=PARAMETER]' Configure the package to build and install an optional user-level facility called FEATURE. This allows users to choose which optional features to include. Giving an optional PARAMETER of `no' should omit FEATURE, if it is built by default. No `--enable' option should *ever* cause one feature to replace another. No `--enable' option should ever substitute one useful behavior for another useful behavior. The only proper use for `--enable' is for questions of whether to build part of the program or exclude it. `--with-PACKAGE' The package PACKAGE will be installed, so configure this package to work with PACKAGE. Possible values of PACKAGE include `x', `x-toolkit', `gnu-as' (or `gas'), `gnu-ld', `gnu-libc', and `gdb'. Do not use a `--with' option to specify the file name to use to find certain files. That is outside the scope of what `--with' options are for. `--nfp' The target machine has no floating point processor. `--gas' The target machine assembler is GAS, the GNU assembler. This is obsolete; users should use `--with-gnu-as' instead. `--x' The target machine has the X Window System installed. This is obsolete; users should use `--with-x' instead. All `configure' scripts should accept all of these "detail" options, whether or not they make any difference to the particular package at hand. In particular, they should accept any option that starts with `--with-' or `--enable-'. This is so users will be able to configure an entire GNU source tree at once with a single set of options. You will note that the categories `--with-' and `--enable-' are narrow: they *do not* provide a place for any sort of option you might think of. That is deliberate. We want to limit the possible configuration options in GNU software. We do not want GNU programs to have idiosyncratic configuration options. Packages that perform part of compilation may support cross-compilation. In such a case, the host and target machines for the program may be different. The `configure' script should normally treat the specified type of system as both the host and the target, thus producing a program which works for the same type of machine that it runs on. The way to build a cross-compiler, cross-assembler, or what have you, is to specify the option `--host=HOSTTYPE' when running `configure'. This specifies the host system without changing the type of target system. The syntax for HOSTTYPE is the same as described above. Bootstrapping a cross-compiler requires compiling it on a machine other than the host it will run on. Compilation packages accept a configuration option `--build=HOSTTYPE' for specifying the configuration on which you will compile them, in case that is different from the host. Programs for which cross-operation is not meaningful need not accept the `--host' option, because configuring an entire operating system for cross-operation is not a meaningful thing. Some programs have ways of configuring themselves automatically. If your program is set up to do this, your `configure' script can simply ignore most of its arguments.  File: standards.info, Node: Source Language, Next: Formatting, Prev: Configuration, Up: Top Using Languages Other Than C **************************** Using a language other than C is like using a non-standard feature: it will cause trouble for users. Even if GCC supports the other language, users may find it inconvenient to have to install the compiler for that other language in order to build your program. So please write in C. There are three exceptions for this rule: * It is okay to use a special language if the same program contains an interpreter for that language. Thus, it is not a problem that GNU Emacs contains code written in Emacs Lisp, because it comes with a Lisp interpreter. * It is okay to use another language in a tool specifically intended for use with that language. This is okay because the only people who want to build the tool will be those who have installed the other language anyway. * If an application is not of extremely widespread interest, then perhaps it's not important if the application is inconvenient to install.  File: standards.info, Node: Formatting, Next: Comments, Prev: Source Language, Up: Top Formatting Your Source Code *************************** It is important to put the open-brace that starts the body of a C function in column zero, and avoid putting any other open-brace or open-parenthesis or open-bracket in column zero. Several tools look for open-braces in column zero to find the beginnings of C functions. These tools will not work on code not formatted that way. It is also important for function definitions to start the name of the function in column zero. This helps people to search for function definitions, and may also help certain tools recognize them. Thus, the proper format is this: static char * concat (s1, s2) /* Name starts in column zero here */ char *s1, *s2; { /* Open brace in column zero here */ ... } or, if you want to use ANSI C, format the definition like this: static char * concat (char *s1, char *s2) { ... } In ANSI C, if the arguments don't fit nicely on one line, split it like this: int lots_of_args (int an_integer, long a_long, short a_short, double a_double, float a_float) ... For the body of the function, we prefer code formatted like this: if (x < foo (y, z)) haha = bar[4] + 5; else { while (z) { haha += foo (z, z); z--; } return ++x + bar (); } We find it easier to read a program when it has spaces before the open-parentheses and after the commas. Especially after the commas. When you split an expression into multiple lines, split it before an operator, not after one. Here is the right way: if (foo_this_is_long && bar > win (x, y, z) && remaining_condition) Try to avoid having two operators of different precedence at the same level of indentation. For example, don't write this: mode = (inmode[j] == VOIDmode || GET_MODE_SIZE (outmode[j]) > GET_MODE_SIZE (inmode[j]) ? outmode[j] : inmode[j]); Instead, use extra parentheses so that the indentation shows the nesting: mode = ((inmode[j] == VOIDmode || (GET_MODE_SIZE (outmode[j]) > GET_MODE_SIZE (inmode[j]))) ? outmode[j] : inmode[j]); Insert extra parentheses so that Emacs will indent the code properly. For example, the following indentation looks nice if you do it by hand, but Emacs would mess it up: v = rup->ru_utime.tv_sec*1000 + rup->ru_utime.tv_usec/1000 + rup->ru_stime.tv_sec*1000 + rup->ru_stime.tv_usec/1000; But adding a set of parentheses solves the problem: v = (rup->ru_utime.tv_sec*1000 + rup->ru_utime.tv_usec/1000 + rup->ru_stime.tv_sec*1000 + rup->ru_stime.tv_usec/1000); Format do-while statements like this: do { a = foo (a); } while (a > 0); Please use formfeed characters (control-L) to divide the program into pages at logical places (but not within a function). It does not matter just how long the pages are, since they do not have to fit on a printed page. The formfeeds should appear alone on lines by themselves.  File: standards.info, Node: Comments, Next: Syntactic Conventions, Prev: Formatting, Up: Top Commenting Your Work ******************** Every program should start with a comment saying briefly what it is for. Example: `fmt - filter for simple filling of text'. Please put a comment on each function saying what the function does, what sorts of arguments it gets, and what the possible values of arguments mean and are used for. It is not necessary to duplicate in words the meaning of the C argument declarations, if a C type is being used in its customary fashion. If there is anything nonstandard about its use (such as an argument of type `char *' which is really the address of the second character of a string, not the first), or any possible values that would not work the way one would expect (such as, that strings containing newlines are not guaranteed to work), be sure to say so. Also explain the significance of the return value, if there is one. Please put two spaces after the end of a sentence in your comments, so that the Emacs sentence commands will work. Also, please write complete sentences and capitalize the first word. If a lower-case identifer comes at the beginning of a sentence, don't capitalize it! Changing the spelling makes it a different identifier. If you don't like starting a sentence with a lower case letter, write the sentence differently (e.g., "The identifier lower-case is ..."). The comment on a function is much clearer if you use the argument names to speak about the argument values. The variable name itself should be lower case, but write it in upper case when you are speaking about the value rather than the variable itself. Thus, "the inode number NODE_NUM" rather than "an inode". There is usually no purpose in restating the name of the function in the comment before it, because the reader can see that for himself. There might be an exception when the comment is so long that the function itself would be off the bottom of the screen. There should be a comment on each static variable as well, like this: /* Nonzero means truncate lines in the display; zero means continue them. */ int truncate_lines; Every `#endif' should have a comment, except in the case of short conditionals (just a few lines) that are not nested. The comment should state the condition of the conditional that is ending, *including its sense*. `#else' should have a comment describing the condition *and sense* of the code that follows. For example: #ifdef foo ... #else /* not foo */ ... #endif /* not foo */ but, by contrast, write the comments this way for a `#ifndef': #ifndef foo ... #else /* foo */ ... #endif /* foo */  File: standards.info, Node: Syntactic Conventions, Next: Names, Prev: Comments, Up: Top Clean Use of C Constructs ************************* Please explicitly declare all arguments to functions. Don't omit them just because they are `int's. Declarations of external functions and functions to appear later in the source file should all go in one place near the beginning of the file (somewhere before the first function definition in the file), or else should go in a header file. Don't put `extern' declarations inside functions. It used to be common practice to use the same local variables (with names like `tem') over and over for different values within one function. Instead of doing this, it is better declare a separate local variable for each distinct purpose, and give it a name which is meaningful. This not only makes programs easier to understand, it also facilitates optimization by good compilers. You can also move the declaration of each local variable into the smallest scope that includes all its uses. This makes the program even cleaner. Don't use local variables or parameters that shadow global identifiers. Don't declare multiple variables in one declaration that spans lines. Start a new declaration on each line, instead. For example, instead of this: int foo, bar; write either this: int foo, bar; or this: int foo; int bar; (If they are global variables, each should have a comment preceding it anyway.) When you have an `if'-`else' statement nested in another `if' statement, always put braces around the `if'-`else'. Thus, never write like this: if (foo) if (bar) win (); else lose (); always like this: if (foo) { if (bar) win (); else lose (); } If you have an `if' statement nested inside of an `else' statement, either write `else if' on one line, like this, if (foo) ... else if (bar) ... with its `then'-part indented like the preceding `then'-part, or write the nested `if' within braces like this: if (foo) ... else { if (bar) ... } Don't declare both a structure tag and variables or typedefs in the same declaration. Instead, declare the structure tag separately and then use it to declare the variables or typedefs. Try to avoid assignments inside `if'-conditions. For example, don't write this: if ((foo = (char *) malloc (sizeof *foo)) == 0) fatal ("virtual memory exhausted"); instead, write this: foo = (char *) malloc (sizeof *foo); if (foo == 0) fatal ("virtual memory exhausted"); Don't make the program ugly to placate `lint'. Please don't insert any casts to `void'. Zero without a cast is perfectly fine as a null pointer constant.  File: standards.info, Node: Names, Next: Using Extensions, Prev: Syntactic Conventions, Up: Top Naming Variables and Functions ****************************** Please use underscores to separate words in a name, so that the Emacs word commands can be useful within them. Stick to lower case; reserve upper case for macros and `enum' constants, and for name-prefixes that follow a uniform convention. For example, you should use names like `ignore_space_change_flag'; don't use names like `iCantReadThis'. Variables that indicate whether command-line options have been specified should be named after the meaning of the option, not after the option-letter. A comment should state both the exact meaning of the option and its letter. For example, /* Ignore changes in horizontal whitespace (-b). */ int ignore_space_change_flag; When you want to define names with constant integer values, use `enum' rather than `#define'. GDB knows about enumeration constants. Use file names of 14 characters or less, to avoid creating gratuitous problems on System V. You can use the program `doschk' to test for this. `doschk' also tests for potential name conflicts if the files were loaded onto an MS-DOS file system--something you may or may not care about.  File: standards.info, Node: Using Extensions, Next: System Functions, Prev: Names, Up: Top Using Non-standard Features *************************** Many GNU facilities that already exist support a number of convenient extensions over the comparable Unix facilities. Whether to use these extensions in implementing your program is a difficult question. On the one hand, using the extensions can make a cleaner program. On the other hand, people will not be able to build the program unless the other GNU tools are available. This might cause the program to work on fewer kinds of machines. With some extensions, it might be easy to provide both alternatives. For example, you can define functions with a "keyword" `INLINE' and define that as a macro to expand into either `inline' or nothing, depending on the compiler. In general, perhaps it is best not to use the extensions if you can straightforwardly do without them, but to use the extensions if they are a big improvement. An exception to this rule are the large, established programs (such as Emacs) which run on a great variety of systems. Such programs would be broken by use of GNU extensions. Another exception is for programs that are used as part of compilation: anything that must be compiled with other compilers in order to bootstrap the GNU compilation facilities. If these require the GNU compiler, then no one can compile them without having them installed already. That would be no good. Since most computer systems do not yet implement ANSI C, using the ANSI C features is effectively using a GNU extension, so the same considerations apply. (Except for ANSI features that we discourage, such as trigraphs--don't ever use them.)  File: standards.info, Node: System Functions, Next: Semantics, Prev: Using Extensions, Up: Top Calling System Functions ************************ C implementations differ substantially. ANSI C reduces but does not eliminate the incompatibilities; meanwhile, many users wish to compile GNU software with pre-ANSI compilers. This chapter gives recommendations for how to use the more or less standard C library functions to avoid unnecessary loss of portability. * Don't use the value of `sprintf'. It returns the number of characters written on some systems, but not on all systems. * Don't declare system functions explicitly. Almost any declaration for a system function is wrong on some system. To minimize conflicts, leave it to the system header files to declare system functions. If the headers don't declare a function, let it remain undeclared. While it may seem unclean to use a function without declaring it, in practice this works fine for most system library functions on the systems where this really happens. The problem is only theoretical. By contrast, actual declarations have frequently caused actual conflicts. * If you must declare a system function, don't specify the argument types. Use an old-style declaration, not an ANSI prototype. The more you specify about the function, the more likely a conflict. * In particular, don't unconditionally declare `malloc' or `realloc'. Most GNU programs use those functions just once, in functions conventionally named `xmalloc' and `xrealloc'. These functions call `malloc' and `realloc', respectively, and check the results. Because `xmalloc' and `xrealloc' are defined in your program, you can declare them in other files without any risk of type conflict. On most systems, `int' is the same length as a pointer; thus, the calls to `malloc' and `realloc' work fine. For the few exceptional systems (mostly 64-bit machines), you can use *conditionalized* declarations of `malloc' and `realloc'--or put these declarations in configuration files specific to those systems. * The string functions require special treatment. Some Unix systems have a header file `string.h'; other have `strings.h'. Neither file name is portable. There are two things you can do: use Autoconf to figure out which file to include, or don't include either file. * If you don't include either strings file, you can't get declarations for the string functions from the header file in the usual way. That causes less of a problem than you might think. The newer ANSI string functions are off-limits anyway because many systems still don't support them. The string functions you can use are these: strcpy strncpy strcat strncat strlen strcmp strncmp strchr strrchr The copy and concatenate functions work fine without a declaration as long as you don't use their values. Using their values without a declaration fails on systems where the width of a pointer differs from the width of `int', and perhaps in other cases. It is trivial to avoid using their values, so do that. The compare functions and `strlen' work fine without a declaration on most systems, possibly all the ones that GNU software runs on. You may find it necessary to declare them *conditionally* on a few systems. The search functions must be declared to return `char *'. Luckily, there is no variation in the data type they return. But there is variation in their names. Some systems give these functions the names `index' and `rindex'; other systems use the names `strchr' and `strrchr'. Some systems support both pairs of names, but neither pair works on all systems. You should pick a single pair of names and use it throughout your program. (Nowadays, it is better to choose `strchr' and `strrchr'.) Declare both of those names as functions returning `char *'. On systems which don't support those names, define them as macros in terms of the other pair. For example, here is what to put at the beginning of your file (or in a header) if you want to use the names `strchr' and `strrchr' throughout: #ifndef HAVE_STRCHR #define strchr index #endif #ifndef HAVE_STRRCHR #define strrchr rindex #endif char *strchr (); char *strrchr (); Here we assume that `HAVE_STRCHR' and `HAVE_STRRCHR' are macros defined in systems where the corresponding functions exist. One way to get them properly defined is to use Autoconf.  File: standards.info, Node: Semantics, Next: Errors, Prev: System Functions, Up: Top Program Behavior for All Programs ********************************* Avoid arbitrary limits on the length or number of *any* data structure, including filenames, lines, files, and symbols, by allocating all data structures dynamically. In most Unix utilities, "long lines are silently truncated". This is not acceptable in a GNU utility. Utilities reading files should not drop NUL characters, or any other nonprinting characters *including those with codes above 0177*. The only sensible exceptions would be utilities specifically intended for interface to certain types of printers that can't handle those characters. Check every system call for an error return, unless you know you wish to ignore errors. Include the system error text (from `perror' or equivalent) in *every* error message resulting from a failing system call, as well as the name of the file if any and the name of the utility. Just "cannot open foo.c" or "stat failed" is not sufficient. Check every call to `malloc' or `realloc' to see if it returned zero. Check `realloc' even if you are making the block smaller; in a system that rounds block sizes to a power of 2, `realloc' may get a different block if you ask for less space. In Unix, `realloc' can destroy the storage block if it returns zero. GNU `realloc' does not have this bug: if it fails, the original block is unchanged. Feel free to assume the bug is fixed. If you wish to run your program on Unix, and wish to avoid lossage in this case, you can use the GNU `malloc'. You must expect `free' to alter the contents of the block that was freed. Anything you want to fetch from the block, you must fetch before calling `free'. Use `getopt_long' to decode arguments, unless the argument syntax makes this unreasonable. When static storage is to be written in during program execution, use explicit C code to initialize it. Reserve C initialized declarations for data that will not be changed. Try to avoid low-level interfaces to obscure Unix data structures (such as file directories, utmp, or the layout of kernel memory), since these are less likely to work compatibly. If you need to find all the files in a directory, use `readdir' or some other high-level interface. These will be supported compatibly by GNU. By default, the GNU system will provide the signal handling functions of BSD and of POSIX. So GNU software should be written to use these. In error checks that detect "impossible" conditions, just abort. There is usually no point in printing any message. These checks indicate the existence of bugs. Whoever wants to fix the bugs will have to read the source code and run a debugger. So explain the problem with comments in the source. The relevant data will be in variables, which are easy to examine with the debugger, so there is no point moving them elsewhere.  File: standards.info, Node: Errors, Next: Libraries, Prev: Semantics, Up: Top Formatting Error Messages ************************* Error messages from compilers should look like this: SOURCE-FILE-NAME:LINENO: MESSAGE Error messages from other noninteractive programs should look like this: PROGRAM:SOURCE-FILE-NAME:LINENO: MESSAGE when there is an appropriate source file, or like this: PROGRAM: MESSAGE when there is no relevant source file. In an interactive program (one that is reading commands from a terminal), it is better not to include the program name in an error message. The place to indicate which program is running is in the prompt or with the screen layout. (When the same program runs with input from a source other than a terminal, it is not interactive and would do best to print error messages using the noninteractive style.) The string MESSAGE should not begin with a capital letter when it follows a program name and/or filename. Also, it should not end with a period. Error messages from interactive programs, and other messages such as usage messages, should start with a capital letter. But they should not end with a period.  File: standards.info, Node: Libraries, Next: Portability, Prev: Errors, Up: Top Library Behavior **************** Try to make library functions reentrant. If they need to do dynamic storage allocation, at least try to avoid any nonreentrancy aside from that of `malloc' itself. Here are certain name conventions for libraries, to avoid name conflicts. Choose a name prefix for the library, more than two characters long. All external function and variable names should start with this prefix. In addition, there should only be one of these in any given library member. This usually means putting each one in a separate source file. An exception can be made when two external symbols are always used together, so that no reasonable program could use one without the other; then they can both go in the same file. External symbols that are not documented entry points for the user should have names beginning with `_'. They should also contain the chosen name prefix for the library, to prevent collisions with other libraries. These can go in the same files with user entry points if you like. Static functions and variables can be used as you like and need not fit any naming convention.  File: standards.info, Node: Portability, Next: User Interfaces, Prev: Libraries, Up: Top Portability As It Applies to GNU ******************************** Much of what is called "portability" in the Unix world refers to porting to different Unix versions. This is a secondary consideration for GNU software, because its primary purpose is to run on top of one and only one kernel, the GNU kernel, compiled with one and only one C compiler, the GNU C compiler. The amount and kinds of variation among GNU systems on different cpu's will be like the variation among Berkeley 4.3 systems on different cpu's. All users today run GNU software on non-GNU systems. So supporting a variety of non-GNU systems is desirable; simply not paramount. The easiest way to achieve portability to a reasonable range of systems is to use Autoconf. It's unlikely that your program needs to know more information about the host machine than Autoconf can provide, simply because most of the programs that need such knowledge have already been written. It is difficult to be sure exactly what facilities the GNU kernel will provide, since it isn't finished yet. Therefore, assume you can use anything in 4.3; just avoid using the format of semi-internal data bases (e.g., directories) when there is a higher-level alternative (`readdir'). You can freely assume any reasonably standard facilities in the C language, libraries or kernel, because we will find it necessary to support these facilities in the full GNU system, whether or not we have already done so. The fact that there may exist kernels or C compilers that lack these facilities is irrelevant as long as the GNU kernel and C compiler support them. It remains necessary to worry about differences among cpu types, such as the difference in byte ordering and alignment restrictions. It's unlikely that 16-bit machines will ever be supported by GNU, so there is no point in spending any time to consider the possibility that an int will be less than 32 bits. You can assume that all pointers have the same format, regardless of the type they point to, and that this is really an integer. There are some weird machines where this isn't true, but they aren't important; don't waste time catering to them. Besides, eventually we will put function prototypes into all GNU programs, and that will probably make your program work even on weird machines. Since some important machines (including the 68000) are big-endian, it is important not to assume that the address of an `int' object is also the address of its least-significant byte. Thus, don't make the following mistake: int c; ... while ((c = getchar()) != EOF) write(file_descriptor, &c, 1); You can assume that it is reasonable to use a meg of memory. Don't strain to reduce memory usage unless it can get to that level. If your program creates complicated data structures, just make them in core and give a fatal error if malloc returns zero. If a program works by lines and could be applied to arbitrary user-supplied input files, it should keep only a line in memory, because this is not very hard and users will want to be able to operate on input files that are bigger than will fit in core all at once.

It is useful sometimes to make a link to a utility with a different name, and that should not change what it does. Instead, use a run time option or a compilation switch or both to select among the alternate behaviors. Likewise, please don't make the behavior of the program depend on the type of output device it is used with. Device independence is an important principle of the system's design; do not compromise it merely to save someone from typing an option now and then. If you think one behavior is most useful when the output is to a terminal, and another is most useful when the output is a file or a pipe, then it is usually best to make the default behavior the one that is useful with output to a terminal, and have an option for the other behavior. Compatibility requires certain programs to depend on the type of output device. It would be disastrous if `ls' or `sh' did not do so in the way all users expect. In some of these cases, we supplement the program with a preferred alternate version that does not depend on the output device type. For example, we provide a `dir' program much like `ls' except that its default output format is always multi-column format. It is a good idea to follow the POSIX guidelines for the command-line options of a program. The easiest way to do this is to use `getopt' to parse them. Note that the GNU version of `getopt' will normally permit options anywhere among the arguments unless the special argument `--' is used. This is not what POSIX specifies; it is a GNU extension. Please define long-named options that are equivalent to the single-letter Unix-style options. We hope to make GNU more user friendly this way. This is easy to do with the GNU function `getopt_long'. One of the advantages of long-named options is that they can be consistent from program to program. For example, users should be able to expect the "verbose" option of any GNU program which has one, to be spelled precisely `--verbose'. To achieve this uniformity, look at the table of common long-option names when you choose the option names for your program. The table appears below. If you use names not already in the table, please send `gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu' a list of them, with their meanings, so we can update the table. It is usually a good idea for file names given as ordinary arguments to be input files only; any output files would be specified using options (preferably `-o'). Even if you allow an output file name as an ordinary argument for compatibility, try to provide a suitable option as well. This will lead to more consistency among GNU utilities, so that there are fewer idiosyncracies for users to remember. Programs should support an option `--version' which prints the program's version number on standard output and exits successfully, and an option `--help' which prints option usage information on standard output and exits successfully. These options should inhibit the normal function of the command; they should do nothing except print the requested information. `auto-check' `-a' in `recode'. `auto-reference' `-A' in `ptx'. `after-date' `-N' in `tar'. `all' `-a' in `du', `ls', `nm', `stty', `uname', and `unexpand'. `all-text' `-a' in `diff'. `almost-all' `-A' in `ls'. `append' `-a' in `etags', `tee', `time'; `-r' in `tar'. `archive' `-a' in `cp'. `arglength' `-l' in `m4'. `ascii' `-a' in `diff'. `assume-new' `-W' in Make. `assume-old' `-o' in Make. `backward-search' `-B' in etags. `batch' Used in GDB. `baud' Used in GDB. `before' `-b' in `tac'. `binary' `-b' in `cpio' and `diff'. `block-size' Used in `cpio' and `tar'. `blocks' `-b' in `head' and `tail'. `break-file' `-b' in `ptx'. `brief' Used in various programs to make output shorter. `bytes' `-c' in `head', `split', and `tail'. `c++' `-C' in `etags'. `catenate' `-A' in `tar'. `cd' Used in various programs to specify the directory to use. `changes' `-c' in `chgrp' and `chown'. `classify' `-F' in `ls'. `colons' `-c' in `recode'. `command' `-c' in `su'; `-x' in GDB. `compare' `-d' in `tar'. `compress' `-Z' in `tar'. `concatenate' `-A' in `tar'. `confirmation' `-w' in `tar'. `context' Used in `diff'. `copyright' `-C' in `ptx' and `recode'. `core' Used in GDB. `count' `-q' in `who'. `count-links' `-l' in `du'. `create' Used in `tar' and `cpio'. `cxref' `-x' in `etags'. `date' `-d' in `touch'. `debug' `-d' in Make and `m4'; `-t' in Bison. `define' `-D' in `m4'. `defines' `-d' in Bison and `etags'. `delete' `-D' in `tar'. `dereference' `-L' in `chgrp', `chown', `cpio', `du', `ls', and `tar'. `dereference-args' `-D' in `du'. `diacritics' `-d' in `recode'. `dictionary-order' `-d' in `look'. `diff' `-d' in `tar'. `digits' `-n' in `csplit'. `directory' Specify the directory to use, in various programs.

File: standards.info, Node: Documentation, Next: Releases, Prev: User Interfaces, Up: Top Documenting Programs ******************** Please use Texinfo for documenting GNU programs. See the Texinfo manual, either the hardcopy or the version in the GNU Emacs Info subsystem (`C-h i'). See existing GNU Texinfo files (e.g., those under the `man/' directory in the GNU Emacs distribution) for examples. The title page of the manual should state the version of the program which the manual applies to. The Top node of the manual should also contain this information. If the manual is changing more frequently than or independent of the program, also state a version number for the manual in both of these places. The manual should document all command-line arguments and all commands. It should give examples of their use. But don't organize the manual as a list of features. Instead, organize it by the concepts a user will have before reaching that point in the manual. Address the goals that a user will have in mind, and explain how to accomplish them. Don't use Unix man pages as a model for how to write GNU documentation; they are a bad example to follow. The manual should have a node named `PROGRAM Invocation' or `Invoking PROGRAM', where PROGRAM stands for the name of the program being described, as you would type it in the shell to run the program. This node (together with its subnodes, if any) should describe the program's command line arguments and how to run it (the sort of information people would look in a man page for). Start with an `@example' containing a template for all the options and arguments that the program uses. Alternatively, put a menu item in some menu whose item name fits one of the above patterns. This identifies the node which that item points to as the node for this purpose, regardless of the node's actual name. There will be automatic features for specifying a program name and quickly reading just this part of its manual. If one manual describes several programs, it should have such a node for each program described. In addition to its manual, the package should have a file named `NEWS' which contains a list of user-visible changes worth mentioning. In each new release, add items to the front of the file and identify the version they pertain to. Don't discard old items; leave them in the file after the newer items. This way, a user upgrading from any previous version can see what is new. If the `NEWS' file gets very long, move some of the older items into a file named `ONEWS' and put a note at the end referring the user to that file. Please do not use the term "pathname" that is used in Unix documentation; use "file name" (two words) instead. We use the term "path" only for search paths, which are lists of file names. It is ok to supply a man page for the program as well as a Texinfo manual if you wish to. But keep in mind that supporting a man page requires continual effort, each time the program is changed. Any time you spend on the man page is time taken away from more useful things you could contribute. Thus, even if a user volunteers to donate a man page, you may find this gift costly to accept. Unless you have time on your hands, it may be better to refuse the man page unless the same volunteer agrees to take full responsibility for maintaining it--so that you can wash your hands of it entirely. If the volunteer ceases to do the job, then don't feel obliged to pick it up yourself; it may be better to withdraw the man page until another volunteer offers to carry on with it. Alternatively, if you expect the discrepancies to be small enough that the man page remains useful, put a prominent note near the beginning of the man page explaining that you don't maintain it and that the Texinfo manual is more authoritative, and describing how to access the Texinfo documentation.  File: standards.info, Node: Releases, Prev: Documentation, Up: Top Making Releases *************** Package the distribution of Foo version 69.96 in a gzipped tar file named `foo-69.96.tar.gz'. It should unpack into a subdirectory named `foo-69.96'. Building and installing the program should never modify any of the files contained in the distribution. This means that all the files that form part of the program in any way must be classified into "source files" and "non-source files". Source files are written by humans and never changed automatically; non-source files are produced from source files by programs under the control of the Makefile. Naturally, all the source files must be in the distribution. It is okay to include non-source files in the distribution, provided they are up-to-date and machine-independent, so that building the distribution normally will never modify them. We commonly include non-source files produced by Bison, Lex, TeX, and Makeinfo; this helps avoid unnecessary dependencies between our distributions, so that users can install whichever packages they want to install. Non-source files that might actually be modified by building and installing the program should *never* be included in the distribution. So if you do distribute non-source files, always make sure they are up to date when you make a new distribution. Make sure that the directory into which the distribution unpacks (as well as any subdirectories) are all world-writable (octal mode 777). This is so that old versions of `tar' which preserve the ownership and permissions of the files from the tar archive will be able to extract all the files even if the user is unprivileged. Make sure that all the files in the distribution are world-readable. Make sure that no file name in the distribution is more than 14 characters long. Likewise, no file created by building the program should have a name longer than 14 characters. The reason for this is that some systems adhere to a foolish interpretation of the POSIX standard, and refuse to open a longer name, rather than truncating as they did in the past. Don't include any symbolic links in the distribution itself. If the tar file contains symbolic links, then people cannot even unpack it on systems that don't support symbolic links. Also, don't use multiple names for one file in different directories, because certain file systems cannot handle this and that prevents unpacking the distribution. Try to make sure that all the file names will be unique on MS-DOG. A name on MS-DOG consists of up to 8 characters, optionally followed by a period and up to three characters. MS-DOG will truncate extra characters both before and after the period. Thus, `foobarhacker.c' and `foobarhacker.o' are not ambiguous; they are truncated to `foobarha.c' and `foobarha.o', which are distinct. Include in your distribution a copy of the `texinfo.tex' you used to test print any `*.texinfo' files. Likewise, if your program uses small GNU software packages like regex, getopt, obstack, or termcap, include them in the distribution file. Leaving them out would make the distribution file a little smaller at the expense of possible inconvenience to a user who doesn't know what other files to get.
