I guess I'd have been better off pretending that this was a completely
new project and ignoring all the left over stuff. This was billed as a
trivial-to-maintain project..... *sigh*.
I got it working, but I'm sure this is considered cheating. bootstrap
now contains:
> extra_libs=$' \\\n'$(
> \cd lib
> ls -1 | \
> egrep -v '^(CVS|SCCS)$' | \
> columns -I$'\t' --spread=1 --line=' \')
>
> ${glib} --import ${gnulib_libs}
>
> ( echo
> echo '## begin sharutils stuff'
> echo
> echo "EXTRA_DIST += ${extra_libs}"
> ) >> lib/Makefile.am
yielding this as the end of lib/Makefile.am:
> ## begin sharutils stuff
>
> EXTRA_DIST += \
> basename.h exit.h gen-uio liballoca.h md5.c \
> md5.h stpcpy.h system.h whoami.c xstrdup.c
With that hackery, I have:
> ===============================================
> sharutils-4.8 archives ready for distribution:
> sharutils-4.8.tar.gz
> sharutils-4.8.tar.bz2
> ===============================================
I am now hearing Handel's Messiah in my head.
