Support Autotools #96

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Autotools is nearly as simple as Makefile, provides a pkgconfig file
and does not require all the users to install large dependencies to
build since the packaged sources do not depend to autotools at all.

On top of this cross compiling for a target just requires to pass the
CHOST string to configure as in

`./configure --host=armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi`

Hi Luca

And thanks for suggestion.

This is a fairly complex patch you propose.
I may add it in a future LZ4 release, 
but since I have about zero knowledge of autotool, 
it will take some time before I can properly integrate and test it.

I am looking at lz4 package and was surprised that Makefile does not install 
headers/static&shared libraries. Debian package for example has updated 
Makefile and made more complete 'install' operation.

But better if upstream project (i.e. you) made the build script follow Unix 
conventions. One way is to add autotools script that generates all the Unix 
boilerplate code.

So add me to the camp who want to see patches from Luca submitted.

Why bother with autotools when you have cmake?

I don't believe to have enough time nor real-world usage to learn autotool yet.

I'll close this request since there is no defined timeline to answer it.
