It was inspired by the 4.4BSD make and include +files, but aims to be portable and to conform to the GNU standards for +Makefile variables and targets. 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.in. This package also includes the "aclocal" +program. aclocal is a program to generate an 'aclocal.m4' based on the +contents of 'configure.in'. It is useful as an extensible, maintainable +mechanism for augmenting autoconf. -Automake assumes the project uses autoconf. If you want automatic -dependency tracking support, the use of GNU make is also required. +WWW: http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/ -WWW: http://sources.redhat.com/automake/ +-- AlanE <alane@freebsd.org> |
