xampp php autoconf,图解autoscan,aclocal,autoheader,automake,autoconf...

1.autoscan

(autoconf):

扫描源代码以搜寻普通的可移植性问题，比如检查编译器，库，头文件等，生成文件configure.scan,它是configure.ac的一个雏形。

your source files --> [autoscan*]

--> [configure.scan] --> configure.ac2.aclocal

(automake):根据已经安装的宏，用户定义宏和acinclude.m4文件中的宏将configure.ac文件所需要的宏集中定义到文件

aclocal.m4中。aclocal是一个perl 脚本程序，它的定义是：“aclocal - create aclocal.m4 by

scanning configure.ac”user input files optional input process output files

================ ============== ======= ============

acinclude.m4 - - - - -.

V

.-------,

configure.ac ------------------------>|aclocal|

{user macro files} ->| |------> aclocal.m4

`-------'

3.autoheader(autoconf): 根据configure.ac中的某些宏，比如cpp宏定义，运行m4，生成config.h.in

user input files optional input process output files

================ ============== ======= ============

aclocal.m4 - - - - - - - .

|

V

.----------,

configure.ac ----------------------->|autoheader|----> autoconfig.h.in

`----------'

4.automake:

automake将Makefile.am中定义的结构建立Makefile.in，然后configure脚本将生成的Makefile.in文件转换

为Makefile。如果在configure.ac中定义了一些特殊的宏，比如AC_PROG_LIBTOOL，它会调用libtoolize，否则它

会自己产生config.guess和config.subuser input files optional input processes output files

================ ============== ========= ============

.--------,

| | - - -> COPYING

| | - - -> INSTALL

| |------> install-sh

| |------> missing

|automake|------> mkinstalldirs

configure.ac ----------------------->| |

Makefile.am ----------------------->| |------> Makefile.in

| |------> stamp-h.in

.---+ | - - -> config.guess

| | | - - -> config.sub

| `------+-'

| | - - - -> config.guess

|libtoolize| - - - -> config.sub

| |--------> ltmain.sh

| |--------> ltconfig

`----------'

5.autoconf:将configure.ac中的宏展开，生成configure脚

本。这个过程可能要用到aclocal.m4中定义的宏。user input files optional input processes output files

================ ============== ========= ============

aclocal.m4 ,autoconfig.h.in - - - - - - -.

V

.--------,

configure.ac ----------------------->|autoconf|------> configure6. ./configure的过程.-------------> [config.cache]

configure* --------------------------+-------------> config.log

|

[config.h.in] -. v .--> [autoconfig.h] +-------> config.status* -+

Makefile.in ---' `--> Makefile7. make过程[autoconfig.h] -. +--> make* ---> 程序 Makefile ---'.---------,

config.site - - ->| |

config.cache - - ->|configure| - - -> config.cache

`-+-------' |

| |----> config.status

config.h.in ------->|config- |----> config.h

Makefile.in ------->| .status|----> Makefile
