Re: [gnugo-devel] How to update GnuGo makefiles ?

Hi Stephane,

just a brief answer to your technical questions: You need automake and
autoconf.

You only need to modify Makefile.am manually. Try to do it similar to
the other files (in patterns.c there are some example of stand-alone
programs). Then run "automake" and "configure", and it should work.

Add them to lib_utils in Makefile.am, and just include the header file
where you need the declarations.

Also in utils/, I think.

Depends on where you want to put them. If in engine/, you can just add
them to lib_engine in Makefile.am. (And include fitting.h from main.c).
