Learning Autotools

Posted by: Matt in Tech

I’ve been writing C programs for over 20 years, but more recently I’ve been writing them for Linux/Solaris systems. I’ve been writing my own Makefiles to get my source code to compile but always wondered how other source code maintainers go about creating the “./configure, make, make install” process.

So this morning with nothing better to do I investigated the GNU Autotools. Slogging though on-line manuals was tedious so I went looking for a tutorial and ended up finding one I liked. Autotools Tutorial for Beginners was just the sort of laid back tutorial I needed to grasp the basics so I could start using them on my own project.
