Re: [Gc] [bdwgc] Build / install procedures need to be updated in README.md? (#43)

Hello Joshua,
The information how to build it from Git is located on the site: you should use autotools to created configure and related files.
It would be good to add it to readme of course.

Tue, 13 May 2014, 03:11 +04:00 from Joshua Richardson <[email protected]>:
Per README.md, I tried building / installing bdwgc from git source:
[[email protected] bdwgc]$ make -f Makefile.direct
cp Makefile.direct Makefile
CC=cc  MAKE=make ./build_atomic_ops.sh
./build_atomic_ops.sh: line 3: cd: libatomic_ops: No such file or directory
./build_atomic_ops.sh: line 4: ./configure: No such file or directory
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jric/dev/bdwgc'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jric/dev/bdwgc'
make: *** [libatomic_ops-install] Error 2
The other option suggested in the README.md didn't work either, because there is no "configure" script, so I tried automake, which kept failing, and then I figured out I probably need to use cmake?
After running cmake, I was able to successfully "make" (if I didn't use -f Makefile.direct), but I still couldn't "make install" as mentioned in README.md:
[ [email protected] bdwgc]$ sudo make install
[sudo] password for jric:
make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.
I need the bdw-gc.pc file and the package installed into /usr/local/lib on the system.  Can someone point me in the right direction for how to do this?  I really need this package to build latest version of fontforge.
I am happy to contribute changes back to the README.md file.
