(This is needed so we can fold a directory's configure.in scripts into the parent's configure.in without having to move all of its siblings as well into - the parent directory's configure.in.) + the parent directory's configure.in. This is because if + the parent's configure.in file as a AC_CONFIG_DIRS macro, + it gets included into all the $(SUBDIRS) macro of *all* + of its generated makefiles, and this is wrong for all + but the Makefile.in of the parent directory. For example, + if the configure.in in src/appl contains + AC_CONFIG_DIRS(bsd telnet gssftp), and that configure + script also generates the Makefile.in for src/appl/sample, + then SUBDIRS will contain "bsd telnet gssftp" plus + whatever LOCAL_SUBDIRS is defined to contain. This + doesn't work. So instead of defining LOCAL_SUBDIRS, + the Makefile.in in src/appl/sample defines MY_SUBDIRS, + which completely overrides the SUBDIRS macro. + Eventually, we should replace all of the LOCAL_SUBDIRS + definitions in the Makefile.in's with MY_SUBDIRS, and + add MY_SUBDIRS definitions into all Makefile.in's that + don't currently have then, and depend on + AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS to insert the right magic value into + SUBDIRS. At that point, we can get rid of the SUBDIR + definition in pre.in, and remove this test from + post.in which tests of MY_SUBDIRS and uses it in + preference to SUBDIRS, and simply always use MY_SUBDIRS.) 1998-05-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu> |
