On Mac OS X, the "Homebrew" build system (one of the three main ones) has its m4 macro directory placed in a user configurable location. This patch adds a simple way to pass this configuration information to aclocal, using an environment variable called ACLOCAL_FLAGS. This allows the packaging of libvirt into the Homebrew build system. ie: $ export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /path/to/m4/macro/dir/" --- Although this patch works, I'm kind of expecting Eric will have a better way of achieving what this is trying to do, so this will get NACKed. No stress. :) README-hacking | 6 ++++++ bootstrap | 2 +- 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/README-hacking b/README-hacking index 80b022c..74f3bed 100644 --- a/README-hacking +++ b/README-hacking @@ -33,6 +33,12 @@ reduce download time and disk space requirements: $ export GNULIB_SRCDIR=/path/to/gnulib +Also, if you have M4 macro files (.m4) in a non-standard location, +you can include them in the build process with the ACLOCAL_FLAGS +environment variable: + + $ export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /path/to/extra/macro/dir" + The next step is to get all required pieces from gnulib, to run autoreconf, and to invoke ./configure: diff --git a/bootstrap b/bootstrap index 2422549..593e0b2 100755 --- a/bootstrap +++ b/bootstrap @@ -775,7 +775,7 @@ grep -E '^[ ]*AC_CONFIG_HEADERS?\>' configure.ac >/dev/null || for command in \ libtool \ - "${ACLOCAL-aclocal} --force -I m4" \ + "${ACLOCAL-aclocal} --force -I m4 ${ACLOCAL_FLAGS}" \ "${AUTOCONF-autoconf} --force" \ "${AUTOHEADER-autoheader} --force" \ "${AUTOMAKE-automake} --add-missing --copy --force-missing" -- 1.7.2.1
