This is Automake, a Makefile generator. It was inspired by the 4.4BSD
|
|
make and include files, but aims to be portable and to conform to the
|
|
GNU Coding 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.ac.
|
|
|
|
Variable assignment lines in Makefile.am pull in defaults from various
|
|
little *.am files.
|
|
|
|
To use Automake, replace your Makefile.in files with Makefile.am
|
|
files. Read the documentation to see what to do.
|
|
|
|
This package also includes the "aclocal" program. aclocal is a
|
|
program 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.
|
|
|
|
Automake has a test suite. Use
|
|
|
|
make check
|
|
|
|
to run it. Capture its output in case of failing tests. For more
|
|
information, please see the file tests/README.
|
|
|
|
Automake has a page on the web. See:

|
|
|
|
The mailing list automake@gnu.org is for discussion of Automake and
|
|
its interactions with other configuration/portability tools like
|
|
Autoconf or Libtool. Write to automake-request@gnu.org if you want to
|
|
join.
|
|
|
|
Mail suggestions and bug reports to bug-automake@gnu.org, patches
|
|
to automake-patches@gnu.org.
|
|
|
|
New releases are announced to autotools-announce@gnu.org. Write to
|
|
autotools-announce-request@gnu.org if you want to receive them.
