README

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) <me@mysite.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

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
