autoconf/automake

[0-wiz-0]

Hi!
I've added autoconf/automake support to rhash. The main motivation was a properly libtoolized librhash, since other projects are using the library.
As the commit log says, there are some open points, which I can't address, I hope you can work on those:
Some of the custom targets were not ported (RPM, Debian package, other binary distribution files).
Windows support needs to be re-done, I can't test that.

gettext and bindings/ support could also be improved, but my first try for gettext was a lot of effort and went nowhere, so I'd like to know if you're interested in the autoconf project at all before continuing.

I hope you find this useful.

[rhash]

Hello Thomas,
thanks for the interest in RHash. :)

My vision of the project development is a bit different.
I want to minimize compilation dependendencies. Instead of using
autoconf/automake, I want to write a ./configure script by hands, the
same way as the MPlayer project have done.

I understand that you've done a big work. Sorry, that I personally
dislike autoconf.

In spite of this, it's ok with me to place some files in a
sub-directory of the rhash repository (not in the root), if it can
somehow simplify building of autoconf-based projects which use LibRHash [1].

Best regards,
Aleksey.

Thank you for your reply.
What a pity that you don't like autoconf...

Adding the autoconf stuff looks like this:
One configure.ac in the toplevel
One Makefile.am in each directory.
Sadly, you can't put the files somewhere else.

People wanting to use it would just install automake & autoconf and run 'autoreconf -fiv' at the toplevel and then the usual ./configure && make && make install.

I hope that's ok with you even if you don't like autoconf?

[rhash]

No, sorry. I can't stand .ac/.am files in the top directory :)
