12.2 Removing `--foreign'
Now that I have the bulk of the project in place, I want it to adhere to
the GNU standard layout. By removing the `--foreign' option
from the call to automake in the bootstrap file,
automake is able to warn me about missing, or in some
cases(23),
malformed files, as follows:
|
$ ./bootstrap
+ aclocal -I config
+ libtoolize --force --copy
Putting files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, config.
+ autoheader
+ automake --add-missing --copy
automake: Makefile.am: required file ./NEWS not found
automake: Makefile.am: required file ./README not found
automake: Makefile.am: required file ./AUTHORS not found
automake: Makefile.am: required file ./THANKS not found
+ autoconf

The GNU standards
book(24) describes the contents
of these files in more detail. Alternatively, take a look at a few
other GNU packages from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu.
