qgit with autotools

Hi all,

QGit now uses autotools instead of scons, courtesy of Pavel patch that has been pushed. In patch description you will find the rationale for this update.

Also old git public repo has been removed after a deprecation period, so please now use:

    http://digilander.libero.it/mcostalba/scm/qgit.git

After pulling new changes you should run "autoreconf -i" to create proper build environment and then the usual ./configure + make + make install

Following, Pavel's answers regarding some notes on new build environment.

I think Autoconf defaults to using "-g". You can strip the binary. I think you can even run "make install-strip". And of course you can use "configure CXXFLAGS=-O2" or something to disable debug information.

 > 2) qgit is built in src directory instead of ./bin/ or ./ (not a biggie)

That's an Automake thing. There are ways to work it about, but they are not nice (using libraries).

However, you can create a separate directory and run "configure && make" from it (configure should run be with full path to the source directory). Then you get a build outside the source tree. It may be just as good for your purposes.

Marco
