Libraries

  • includes (for the include directory): include_HEADERS = ...
  • library: static lib_LIBRARIES = library.a or dynamic lib_LTLIBRARIES = library.la
  • sources (internal C data structures and C++ template classes): library_X_SOURCES = library.h ..., where X = a or la
    • library.h is a precompiled header (contains common headers and symbols), which is to be included in most of source files of the library

For example, see:

Configured headers

Configured headers (created from *.h.in) must not be included into the package, that is include_HEADERS or *_SOURCES

  • nodist_include_HEADERS = *.h for the configured headers as includes
  • nodist_*_SOURCES = *.h for the configured headers as sources
