[tor-dev] help with minimal Tor build for Shadow

[Rob Jansen]

Let me try again more concisely:

Whats the most minimal (fastest) way to generate ‘orconfig.h' and 'or_sha1.i’ from a clean git clone of Tor master? Is there a make target for this?

However, because my CMake build file is not smart enough to know how to turn orconfig.h.in into orconfig.h, I still have to run Tor through autotools first (and then build again with Clang). I’m hoping to eliminate at least parts of the Tor configure/make build process.

(I’d like to avoid adding the rules to my CMakeLists.txt file, as it will be hard to keep up with Tor’s upstream changes to its Makefile.in.)

My custom Clang build fails without them. Is there a special make target in Tor that generates these “helper” files without building the entire Tor binary? If not, should/can there be?
