Which is quite too much to comprehend, without practical (as in: daily usage) knowledge about compiling things, applying to a project that doesnt need compiling.
It feels that the auto-tools dont work properly on a project that doesnt require compiling.
Doing the regular starting steps:
(however, these errors are new)
While the generate configure.ac looks like:
Eventhough, the generating of them worked - as in no errors shown, at some earlier time, i cant seem to get it back there.
What remains identical is this:
Currently only testing with the README.md
Any advices please?
Thank you
The GNU guys said i should apply that installation method.
They wont accept my install.sh.
EG:
Tui shall be installable by: (as i understood them) ---------- Post updated at 18:39 ---------- Previous update was at 17:54 ----------
Well they mentioned i could write my own ./configure, as long it supports make install.
Failing to get make working with the regular tools, makes it even harder to write my own ./configure, as i do not understand the process/requirement yet.
Me not asking for a solution, a direct link to where it explains the actual 'install' (cp, mv, chmod, etc) process requirements would be very apreciated.
Best i have is the doc_DATA = Readme.md part, which doesnt seem to be right, as the make fails (see above).

Let me do a practical example, what i tried to achieved using this guide: autoconf automake tutorial
Which already fails at point 2, as there are no Makefile.in, removed/renamed as suggested by guide, but required by autoscan.
typescript:
And the log is empty.
Weird thing is, i did get (somehow) a generated Makefile.in, sadly i dont remember how.
Most confusing part for me is: Guide tells to 'remove' the Makefile.*'sm while autoscan seems to require one.
When i add: 'bin' to 'subdirs', and write: bin/Makefile.am
It fails like:
What am i making wrong?

Uhh, for a second i though it was the typo...
But it isnt.
Wether i use bin_SCRIPT or bin_SCRIPTS, fails the same.
Makefile.am's (bin/Makefile.am is marked bold)
Output:
This doesnt make ANY sense at all!
The content of bin/Makefile.am is 'just the same' as docs/Makefile.am.
Anyone able to enlighten me on this please?

gnh.. new tools, new rules, and new things to forget..
Me asociated configure.ac to autoconf, which i 'could skip', so me forgot that just that file requires the Makefile.am to be listed so automake is working...
Hi,
