the compiler is useful
What Algol 68 code does anyone want to use or write nowadays?
Just curious.
But I am not familiar with the Automake internals
Neither am I, but we plunge ahead as best we can anyway.
and it is likely I am missing something and/or doing something wrong.
It looks reasonable to me at first glance. But one crucial thing is
missing: test(s) to exercise the functionality. Just compiling
hello,world and running it should suffice for starters.
Can you write a test please? --thanks, karl.

Hello.
This patch adds support for the Algol 68 programming language to
Automake. It is based on the Algol 68 GCC front-end, which is currently
under development [1]. A WIP series got sent to gcc-patches in January
[2], and the front-end is temporarily hosted in the sourceware forge
until integration in GCC is completed [3].
The full language is (almost) already implemented, the compiler is
useful and I plan to send official patches for inclusion in GCC 16 very
soon.
In the meanwhile, I would like to have both autoconf and automake
support ready to be added upstream once the front-end lands.
This WIP seems to work for me: make, make install, make dist, etc. With
a Makefile.am like this:
----
bin_PROGRAMS = program
godcc_SOURCES = program.a68
----
But I am not familiar with the Automake internals and it is likely I am
missing something and/or doing something wrong. Comments are welcome.
A patch adding Algol 68 support to autoconf has been sent to
autoconf-patches@.
Salud!

Add support for the Algol 68 programming language.
* NEWS: Add entry for Algol 68.
* bin/automake.in: Call register_language for Algol 68.
(resolve_linker): handle A68LINK.
(%_am_macro_for_cond): Add entry for am__fastdepGA68.
* configure.ac: Look for ga68 and set GNU_GA68 and GNU_A68FLAGS if fuond.
* lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_ac_macro_for_var): Add entries for GA68
and GA68FLAGS.
