Original commit message from CVS:
Let's just say I have a better understanding of autoconf now (I should really have read the manual first). It helps to remember that yes != no ;)
Original commit message from CVS:
Oops: fixed SDL header check: put flags in CPPFLAGS rather than CFLAGS.
We should really filter the SDL_CFLAGS and only pass appropriate options
through, but this works well enough for now.
Original commit message from CVS:
Add comments to many (but not all :( ) AC_DEFINES in configure scripts.
Add note about debian packages for building documentation.
Original commit message from CVS:
Add AS and ASFLAGS to configure.base, fixing the build with automake 1.4g
AS is defined in a hacky way: I've asked on the automake list for help
doing this properly.
Original commit message from CVS:
* create a configure.base file, containing the contents of
configure.{in,ac}, with those lines specific to one file prepended by
"SUBSTFOR configure.in:" or "SUBSTFOR configure.ac:" appropriately.
* Add lines to autogen.sh to generate configure.in and configure.ac
automatically from this file. (Very simple sed scripts)
* Remove configure.in and configure.ac
This shouldn't cause any problems to anyone, and should make it easy to do
work on configure scripts by just working on configure.base.
