[ptxdist] Running autogen.sh in prepare step

[Wim Vinckier]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile axis2c for arm but it fails. I'm wondering if
I'm running autogen.sh correctly.  Currently I run it from my
operating system but maybe I have to do it from the crosscompile
environment so I'm wondering how I have to specify in my make file how
to run autogen.sh in the prepare step.

I think this can be done if you add a patches directory and add a
autogen.sh file in there. Note this should be executable.

Like screen see [0]. We have patches which change the buildsystem so we
need to rerun autoreconf, etc.

At the most cases autogen.sh in ./patches/foobar/autogen.sh is a
symlink to ./patches/autogen.sh

But in your BSP there should not be a patches/autogen.sh, I prefer to
copy this file from ptxdist in my BSP patches directory. Easier for me
to bring new rules mainline.

Thanks for the tip. I found more about it in the ptx guru document.  I
currently managed to build it but it looks like pkg-config still files
when I try to use libxml.  I think I'll have to read some extra
manuals.
