This is Automake, a Makefile generator. It aims to be portable and
|
|
to conform to the GNU Coding Standards for Makefile variables and
|
|
targets.
|
|
|
|
See the INSTALL file for detailed information about how to configure
|
|
and install Automake.
|
|
|
|
Automake is a Perl script. The input files are called Makefile.am.
|
|
The output files are called Makefile.in; they are intended for use
|
|
with Autoconf. Automake requires certain things to be done in your
|
|
configure.ac.
|
|
|
|
Automake comes with extensive documentation; please refer to it for
|
|
more details about its purpose, features, and usage patterns.
|
|
|
|
This package also includes the "aclocal" program, whose purpose is
|
|
to generate an 'aclocal.m4' based on the contents of 'configure.ac'.
|
|
It is useful as an extensible, maintainable mechanism for augmenting
|
|
autoconf. It is intended that other package authors will write m4
|
|
macros which can be automatically used by aclocal. The documentation
|
|
for aclocal is currently found in the Automake manual.
|
|
|
|
Automake has a test suite. Use "make check" to run it. For more
|
|
information, see the file t/README.

Automake has three mailing lists:
|
|
|
|
* automake@gnu.org
|
|
For general discussions of Automake and its interactions with other
|
|
configuration/portability tools like Autoconf or Libtool.
|
|
|
|
* bug-automake@gnu.org
|
|
Where to send bug reports and feature requests.
|
|
|
|
* automake-patches@gnu.org
|
|
Where to send patches, and discuss the automake development process
|
|
and the design of new features.
|
|
|
|
To see the archives of these lists, or to (un)subscribe to them,
|
|

New releases are announced to autotools-announce@gnu.org. If you want to
|
|
