"make install" can be more useful #219

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
"make install" should install the processor's header files.

In conjunction with issue 218, "make install" should also install client
handler libraries, tool binaries, and relevant headers.

This particular issue is making it very fiddly for me to use breakpad in our 
cross-platform app.

We take patches. :)

I was not quite sure which headers should be installed, but I specified 
exception_handler.h, google_crashdump_uploader.h and http_upload.h in this 
patch.

Additionally, I defined a new enviroment variable (INCLUDE_SRC_DIR) to match 
the platform-specific header directories (linux, mac, windows, solaris) as I 
was unable find something preexisting that could be used. I am not terribly 
familiar with autotools and there may be a more standardized way to do this.

Summary:
* $includedir default set to '${prefix}/include/google-breakpad'
* 'make install' should now include platform-specific headers

note: autoconf will need to be rerun after applying this patch

can someone please look to see if this patch is acceptable? it's annoying, as 
an end user of this library, to have to package it in our source tree. being 
able to install the breakpad headers will be extremely helpful.

The patch I posted is incomplete as it only included the headers I needed. It 
doesn't install the files in sub-directories, which is necessary to satisfy the 
header files own dependencies.

Agreed, this is not acceptable of library to not have an option to install it's 
header files.

Yes, it would be really good for make install to install headers. I'm trying to 
add this library to gentoo sunrise overlay now and here are patches I use for 
installing headers. This patch adds rules for headers and also installs the .pc 
file. Could it be added to the upstream version?

This patch is only for linux, so should be changed appropriately for supporting 
of other platforms.

.pc files should never be patched in downstream, so please fix this. Otherwise 
it does not make much sense to include google-breakpad in distributions.

#8 Your patch doesn't seem to work for out-of-source builds. I get:
    make: *** No rule to make target `src/common/*.h', needed by `all-am'.  Stop.

It may be. I have not tested it for out-of-source builds. I'll try to look at 
this problem in a few weeks.

Based on the above, an updated patch to install headers and .pc files

- Tested with in and out of tree source builds
- Installs breakpad.pc if libbreakpad is installed
- Installs breakpad-client.pc if libbreakpad_client is installed
- Installs linux-specific headers only on linux :-)

Is jon from #15 still taking care of it or shall I repost his patch, following

Is Jon still waiting for write access? Or has he given up?
We've got a patch! Can we get some movement on getting it accepted?!
