I'm not an expert at this but I think I'm getting the hang of it quite nicely.
I added autoconf stuff for most of the intern dir. I move readme.txt to
README and added the following section to it:
*********************************************************************
*********************************************************************
We are in the process of moving things over to automake/autoconf
The old makefiles are still in place and will work. If you want to
get a working blender skip down to the next section and use this readme as
a guide.
If you want to play with the new autoconf environment you need to do the
following, inside this dir:
./bootstrap
mkdir ../newdir
cd ../newdir
../blender/configure
Take a look at INSTALL for options you can give to configure.
About half of the intern directory is done so you won't get very far.
If you want to work on fixing it you need to edit Makefile.am's and
configure.ac
after editing those files you need to run bootstrap again.
TODO to finish up the intern dir
Square away how ghost works.
(i.e. would be nice if under windows you could choose X11 or normal windows
libs, same with macos.. right now its a cludge and it doesn't do one explicitly
probably involves changing the way configure.ac picks stuff)
Get intern/python figured out.
Add the following to configure.ac
--with-openssl=dir
--with-mozilla=dir (get it so nspr is autodetected here)
--with-nspr=dir (incase in different dir)
--with-jpeg=dir
--with-png=dir
--with-zlib=dir
figure out why the heck the libtool that gets created is wrong on my
system (mein@cs.umn.edu) :)
