Importing autotools projects

<< < (2/2)

mandrav:
Here's what I did, in less than 5 minutes:
(Path / will mean the atlas base dir)

[*]Downloaded atlas 0.5.9.2 from your link and uncompressed it
[*]Created new empty project and saved it inside the atlas dir (/)
[*]Edited project options to adjust the output type (set it to static lib instead of GUI executable)
[*]Added all files of interest in project (all files under /Atlas and its subdirs)
[*]Hit Compile
[*]Got error "No such file or directory". It couldn't locate "#include <Atlas/Bridge.h>"
[*]Added base dir (/) in compiler search dirs
[*]Hit Compile again
[*]All done :)[/list:u]

Actually it won't always be this easy. Some times you might need to find and set some -D macros, or add some compiler/linker search dirs.
But, generally, that is how you should go for projects that don't offer any MS project files. I 'm talking about MS project files, because if they are provided, importing them will give you a nice base project even if it still needs some tweaking.

If you need any more help, just ask ;)
