Automake includes some support for assembly code.
The variable CCAS
holds the name of the compiler used to build
assembly code. This compiler must work a bit like a C compiler; in
particular it must accept ‘-c’ and ‘-o’. The value of
CCASFLAGS
is passed to the compilation.
You are required to set CCAS
and CCASFLAGS
via
configure.in. The autoconf macro AM_PROG_AS
will do this
for you. Unless they are already set, it simply sets CCAS
to the
C compiler and CCASFLAGS
to the C compiler flags.
Only the suffixes ‘.s’ and ‘.S’ are recognized by
automake
as being files containing assembly code.
