Requirements
To build from a subversion checkout, you will need Autotools. More specifically Automake 1.10 (or later), Autoconf 2.60 (or later), and Libtool are required.
Disable shared library
yat uses gnu Libtool in order to build shared libraries on a variety
of systems. While this is very nice for making usable binaries, it
can be a pain when trying to debug a program. For that reason,
compilation of shared libraries can be turned off by specifying the
--disable-shared option to configure.
Debugging using GDB
If shared library is enabled (default), libtool creates wrapper scripts in directory test/ that call the test programs located in directory test/.libs/. While this allows us to dynamically link against the temporary library in yat/, it makes straightforward usage of GDB impossible. For that reason libtool provides a wrapper:
#> libtool --mode=execute gdb foo_test
that sets the necessary environment variables. For more detailed discussion, please refer to the libtool manual:
http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/libtool.html#Debugging-executables
Enable svn-clean
While make distclean will remove most generated files and leave you
in a state as though you just unpacked a dist, it is sometimes useful
to remove even more files. For this purpose there exists a target
svn-clean that will remove all files not under subversion control,
in other words, leave you in a state as though you checked out a
pristine subversion working copy. The target is not active by default,
but can be turned on with ./configure --enable-svn-support. Use with
care!
