autoconf/automake

Post by nicolasbock »

Hi,

whilst trying to build bader I noticed that its makefiles could be unified using autoconf/automake. I have attached a patch against the current tar file that adds the proper scripts which replace the existing makefiles.

Thanks,

nick

P.S.: Since this board doesn't like patch suffixes, I have appended another .txt to the patch file.

Thank you very much for the patch, but as bader is a very simple program to build, I don't see how automake helps. Bader has no dependencies other than make and a fortran 90 compiler; there aren't any OS specific features to test for. However, I'd be happy to hear an argument for using automake and to be convinced otherwise.

Well, you could remove the makefiles directory and make the program even simpler. In addition, if you ever want to package bader for a linux distribution then having a standard build method is quite helpful.
