C++ - Moving to Automake

[Berin Lautenbach <be...@wingsofhermes.org>]

Hi all,

For those that are interested, I am halfway through refactoring the UNIX 
build over to an automake based build.  A few things are changing - in 
particular the build will now happen from the base directory of the 
package, rather than the src directory.  I'm also now letting automake 
handle how installation works, so my hope is that this will be kinder on 
UNIX.

I am going to also update to support the current Xerces 3.0 source tree 
(not yet released) and fix the RSA bug and then release a 1.3.1.

My question - are there any objections to this being a 1.3.1?  Or would 
people prefer it to be 1.4 if the build has drastically changed?  Other 
than some patches, nothing should change at a source code level, so I'm 
not expecting a modification to the API.  (I may update xklient a bit, 
but that doesn't affect the library.)

Cheers,
	Berin

I distribute RPMs and packages, so I don't really care too much what it's
called as long as the spec file works without modification on as many
distros as possible.
