pkg-config/autotools support #56

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
ATM, guichan does not to provide any means of automatically discovering its
proper build settings or installation status.  It takes very little effort
to add pkg-config support or only slightly more, if that is not acceptable,
to write a m4 macro set for autotools.  This would immensely help other
packages using guichan.

I totally agree that it should be easier for other projects to use Guichan by
supplying pkg-support or a m4 macro. However, working with autotools it usually 
a
pain in the ass, I'd love to see a community contribution here.

I've written a patch which provides pkgconfig files for guichan.  It only 
supports
the sdl and opengl backends, as I could not test the others, but new pkgconfig 
files
can be added easily by following the ones that exist.  It provides
guichan(_(sdl|opengl))?-0.8.pc files, which include the version number, with the
assumption that ABI/API will be backwards compatible for all 0.8.* versions, 
and the
number will change as compatibilty is broken.  This will theoretically allow
installations of several versions in parallel, as long as the ./configure 
script is
passed different paths and libtool settings are correct, etc.

I'm unable to apply the patch. TortioseSVN complains about a missing index line 
and
the unix patch command complains about a file not found (can't find file to 
patch at
input line 4).

The patch applies fine for me by doing:

[bjorn@thor guichan]$ patch -p1 < /home/bjorn/guichan-pkgconfig.patch

Shall I commit it or do you think you can figure out how to do the -p1 with
TortoiseSVN? :-)

Oh. I must be very tired or something. I've applied the patch. Thanks for your 
help
Björn!
