* To construct a source distribution from a pristine checkout,

2008-06-30 14:48:51 +00:00

make_dist does the following:

|
* To create a source release, do an export from the version control
|
|
|
|
|
system to a directory called qpdf-version. From the parent of that
|
|
|
|
|
directory, run make_dist with the directory as an argument. For
|
|
|
|
|
internally testing releases, you can run make_dist with the
|
|
|
|
|
--no-tests option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-04-29 12:55:25 +00:00
|
|
|
* Remember to update documentation in the "files" subdirectory of the
|
|
|
|
|
website on sourceforge.net.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-02-15 16:31:12 +00:00
|
|
|
* Create a tag in the version control system.

QPDF uses autoconf and libtool but does not use automake. The only
|
|
|
|
|
files distributed with the qpdf source distribution that are not
|
2008-05-05 14:29:12 +00:00
|
|
|
controlled are "configure", "libqpdf/qpdf/qpdf-config.h.in", and some
|
|
|
|
|
documentation. See above for the steps required to prepare a source
|
|
|
|
|
distribution.

|
A small handful of additional files have been taken from autotools
|
|
|
|
|
programs. These should probably be updated from time to time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-09-26 15:42:39 +00:00
|
|
|
* config.guess, config.sub, ltmain.sh, and the m4 directory: these
|
|
|
|
|
were created by running libtoolize -c. To update, run libtoolize
|
|
|
|
|
-f -c or remove the files and rerun libtoolize.
|

|
* Other files copied as indicated:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-09-26 15:42:39 +00:00
|
|
|
cp /usr/share/automake-1.11/install-sh .
|
|
|
|
|
cp /usr/share/automake-1.11/mkinstalldirs .

The entire contents of the m4 directory came from libtool.m4. If we
|
|
|
|
|
had some additional local parts, we could also add those to the m4
|
|
|
|
|
directory. In order for this to work, it is necessary to run "aclocal
|
|
|
|
|
-I m4" before running autoheader and autoconf.

If building or editing documentation, configure with
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-doc-maintenance. This will ensure that all tools or files
|
|
|
|
|
required to validate and build documentation are available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to run make maintainer-clean or make distclean and you
|
|
|
|
|
haven't run ./configure, you can pass CLEAN=1 to make on the command
|
|
|
|
|
line to prevent it from complaining about configure not having been
|
|
|
|
|
run.
