OLD INTRODUCTION CONTENTS

Note

Old ui-auto based INTRODUCTION contents. Should eventually be migrated and/or removed.

In essence, "con-dev"'s goal is to phase out redundancies when maintaining projects using autotools (autoconf+automake+libtool), as well as generally help doing administrative tasks around administrating and developing software packages.

Specifically, con-dev is

  1. an m4 macro archive.
  2. a set of shell tools, mainly:
    • con-dev-release : Releasing, automatic snasphots, uploading etc.
    • con-dev-env, con-dev-update: Inter-dependency helper for developing w/ con-dev projects.
  1. What an con-dev enabled project looks like on the autotool side

A typical configure.ac looks like

--- AC_INIT([myproject], [1.1.32]) CON_INIT([src/myproject/Main.cpp]) ... CON_DOXYGEN CON_DISTDIR_CRUFT ---

, and a typical top level Makefile.am looks like

--- AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = 1.9 ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS =

TODO some explanation about how the ui-* m4 macros work.

  1. How tools help maintain a project (releases, snaphots, upload, etc)

To use the con-dev tools, a per-project configuration .con-dev.conf should be placed in the top level of the project.
