Autotools & Objects

Created the necessary autoconf/automake scripts for the new build system yesterday. I remember when I first started using the autotools and how it was like pulling teeth to do anything. Looks like I’ve managed to learn something

I will need to come up with a plan to deal with the Windows build system. Not sure how that is going to look right now. I might be able to just have a /win32 sub-directory with the necessary scripts or maybe a separate source distribution. Doing a separate distribution seems like overkill considering the code will be 99.9% the same between them.

Checked in the start of the IDS objects. Plan to work on that some more today. Still have lots of code chunks to clean up and merge.

Read some more the Debugging book I bought recently. I’ve enjoyed it, lots of common sense advice. The war stories are good too, I’ve enjoyed reading them. I’m about half way through now.

I’m really looking forward to start reading Linux Kernel Development. It doesn’t have anything to do with anything I’m currently working on, but I’ve always been intereted in OS theory and development.
