Caca Labs build systems

autotools

Most of our software uses the ​autotools. We ship a generic bootstrap script that is used to prepare the build tree by calling autoconf, automake and other utilities.

Utilities

We generate changelogs from a git-svn checkout of the projects using the following snippet in the Makefile:

update-changelog: FORCE
        git --help >/dev/null 2>&1 \
          && test -d .git \
          && git log --stat | awk 'function flush() { if (m != "") { print "Commit: " v "\nAuthor: " a m } m=""; v="UNSUBMITTED" } { if ($$1 == "commit") flush(); else if ($$1 == "Author:") { a = $$2 } else if ($$1 == "git-svn-id:") { split($$2,tmp,"@"); v=tmp[2] } else if ($$_ != "    ") { m=m "\n" $$_ } } END { flush() }' > ChangeLog
