bootstrap-build-environment Simply setup a new project: 1. create a subversion basic tree 2. checkoutsubversion repository 3. cd into the new project subversion working copy 4. call with full path: /path/to/bootstrap.sh 5. if trunk has been created, cd to trunk 6. follow the instructions, i.e. edit configure.ac 7. run again: /path/to/bootstrap.sh 8. add some generated files: svn add COPYING ChangeLog INSTALL 9. check files, i.e. all makefile.am, set Section in debian/control.in 10. your project is setup and compilable, test: ./bootstrap.sh -b Fore more details, see: ./bootstrap.sh -h Supports and preconfigures: - C++ including: - Qt - Library dependencies - CPP-Unit - PKG-Config dependency file - Doxygen for documentation - Scripts - HTML / Web projects - Examples - Tests - Debian packaging - RPM packaging - Mac OSX App Bundle creation Example: There is a just created empty subversion repository: https://dev.marc.waeckerlin.org/svn/project-name Setup a basic project: svn co https://dev.marc.waeckerlin.org/svn/project-name cd project-name ../bootstrap-build-environment/scripts/bootstrap.sh cd trunk The file AUTHORS is already correct due to my gnupg setup: Fistname Lastname (https://my.homepage.xyz) Edit the file README, I add the following lines: First line is the headline, the short description, e.g. in the packages The following lines describe your project... They also appear in the package description Edit configure.ac, since I want to publish scripts, generate doxygen, debian and rpm packages, I enable the following lines: AX_USE_SCRIPTS AX_USE_DOXYGEN AX_USE_DEBIAN_PACKAGING AX_USE_RPM_PACKAGING Also I check "Section" in debian/control.in and set it do development. Then I continue, I rerun bootstrap.sh, this time with option -b which calls make distcheck at the end: ../../bootstrap-build-environment/scripts/bootstrap.sh -b Add some additional files: svn add trunk/{COPYING,INSTALL,ChangeLog} Everything is fine, so checkin the changes and cleanup the system: cd .. svn ci -m "initial project creation" cd .. rm -rf project-name svn co https://dev.marc.waeckerlin.org/svn/project-name/trunk project-name
