Introduction

Libtldevel is a library I use to develop C programs. It contains wrappers around memory allocation functions and modules to do various other things.

The library includes code from:

klib - by attractive chaos

easel - from the Sean Eddy / Elena Rivas lab

Installation

To use this library, unpack it in the root directory of your C project. Rename the unpacked tldevel-XXX tldevel and make add the macro “ax_with_tldevel.m4” to a m4 directory in your project. In configure.ac:

AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE

LT_INIT
AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS([m4])
m4_include([m4/ax_with_tldevel.m4])

AX_WITH_TLDEVEL

Add lib_tldevel to subdirs in main top level Makefile.am:

SUBDIRS = $(TLDEVELDIR)

And let add the library to project Makefile.am’s that need it

AM_CFLAGS =  @TLDEVEL_CPPFLAGS@
LIBS = @TLDEVEL_LIB@

To make this work nicely with my emacs config let company know where tldevel is installed

((c-mode (eval setq company-clang-arguments (append 
                                             company-clang-arguments
                                             '("-I../tldevel-1.0")))))

The main autogen.sh script should also know about it:

#!/usr/bin/env sh
exists()
{
    command -v "$1" >/dev/null 2>&1
}

if ! exists libtoolize; then
    if ! exists glibtoolize; then
        echo 'libtool/glibtool not found!'
        echo 'to install using homebrew:'
        echo 'brew install libtool'
        exit 1
    fi
fi

if ! exists aclocal; then
    echo 'aclocal not found!'
    echo 'to install using homebrew:'
    echo 'brew install automake'
    exit 1
fi

if ! exists autoheader; then
    echo 'autoheader not found!'
    echo 'to install using homebrew:'
    echo 'brew install automake'
    exit 1
fi

if ! exists automake; then
    echo 'automake not found!'
    echo 'to install using homebrew:'
    echo 'brew install automake'
    exit 1
fi

if ! exists autoconf; then
    echo 'autoconf not found!'
    echo 'to install using homebrew:'
    echo 'brew install automake'
    exit 1
fi

This is the main block.

test -n "$srcdir" || srcdir=`dirname "$0"`

cd "$srcdir"

case `uname` in Darwin*) glibtoolize --force --copy ;;
                 *) libtoolize --force  --copy ;;
esac

aclocal -I m4 $AL_OPTS
autoheader $AH_OPTS
automake --add-missing --copy --gnu $AM_OPTS
autoconf $AC_OPTS

Notes

At some point I should add wrappers and/or test scripts for GNU =libavl=.
