A user of the GNU Autotools (Autoconf and Automake) with Erlang/OTP has recently asked me about a way to automatically generate the .app (application resource) files and .rel (release resource) files for an Erlang/OTP application. This is a perfect occasion to present the ideas that Ruslan Babayev had on the subject, which I promised to publish back in Sep. 2006. I am "only" 18 months late! (^_^);

I have published a new version of Dryverl, version 0.1.3. This is a minor release, that corrects two bugs.

Dryverl supports <dev-c-local-variable/> elements to declare local variables in the generated C code. The first bug was that Dryverl allows such an element to be empty, which would mean that the generated C local variable declaration has no specific initial value. However, in that case, Dryverl generated invalid declarations, such as:

int some_var = ();

Dryverl 0.1.3 now correctly generates no initializer in such cases:
