  • Using GNU Autotools to Manage a “Minimal Project”
    05AAL Ch 04 9/12/00 10:14 AM Page 21 4 Using GNU Autotools to Manage a “Minimal Project” This chapter describes how to manage a minimal project using the GNU Autotools. For this discussion, a minimal project refers to the smallest possible project that can still illustrate a sufficient number of principles related to using the tools. Studying a smaller project makes it easier to understand the more complex interactions between these tools when larger projects require advanced features. The example project used throughout this chapter is a fictitious command interpreter called ‘foonly’. ‘foonly’ is written in C, but like many interpreters, uses a lexical analyzer and a parser expressed using the lex and yacc tools. The package is developed to adhere to the GNU ‘Makefile’ standard, which is the default behavior for Automake. This project does not use many features of the GNU Autotools. The most note- worthy one is libraries; this package does not produce any libraries of its own, so Libtool does not feature them in this chapter. The more complex projects presented in Chapter 7, “A Small GNU Autotools Project” and Chapter 11, “A Large GNU Autotools Project” illustrate how Libtool participates in the build system. The essence of this chapter is to provide a high-level overview of the user-written files and how they interact. 4.1 User-Provided Input Files The smallest project requires the user to provide only two files. The GNU Autotools generate the remainder of the files needed to build the package are in Section 4.2, “Generated Output Files.”

    Großer Beleg Empirical Comparison of SCons and GNU Make Ludwig Hähne August 21, 2008 Technical University Dresden Department of Computer Science Institute for System Architecture Chair for Operating Systems Professor: Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Hermann Härtig Tutor: Dipl.-Inf. Norman Feske Dipl.-Inf. Christian Helmuth Erklärung Hiermit erkläre ich, dass ich diese Arbeit selbstständig erstellt und keine anderen als die angegebenen Hilfsmittel benutzt habe. Dresden, den 26. Juni 2008 Ludwig Hähne Abstract Build systems are an integral part of every software developer’s tool kit. Next to the well-known Make build system, numerous alternative solutions emerged during the last decade. Even though the new systems introduced superior concepts like content signa- tures and promise to provide better build accuracy, Make is still the de facto standard. This paper examines GNU Make and SCons as representatives of two conceptually distinct approaches to conduct software builds. General build-system concepts and their respective realizations are discussed. The performance and scalability are empirically evaluated by confronting the two competitors with comparable real and synthetic build tasks.
