First post, so greetings all. I am working on isolating the file conversion
code in Abiword into a build target that produces just a command-line
converter. Dom has given me the pointers I needed to get started, but I have
run into confusion in the build process.
Since the conversion code is not 100% refactored (it depends on some of the
display code) I have had to make stub versions of a few files. To get progress
going, I have been just manually gcc'ing the set of .cpp files that I need.
It would be preferable to simply add a build target to the Abiword makefile
system that takes the object files for everything I didn't have to modify and
makes objects for my stubs and main.cpp.
I would at this point describe the hacked makefiles I tried to write in
mimickery of your abi/src/tools/* makefiles, but it didn't work, so I'll just
ask: How do I add a new executable to the build system? I am quite adept with
Makefiles, but I have no understanding of Automake and Autoconf.
Of course, I could just work on refactoring the code to remove the dependencies
that force me to make stub versions of certain files, but that elegence would
take time that I don't have.
