| 1 | This is Automake, a Makefile generator. It was inspired by the 4.4BSD
|
|---|
| 2 | make and include files, but aims to be portable and to conform to the
|
|---|
| 3 | GNU Coding Standards for Makefile variables and targets.
|
|---|
| 4 |
|
|---|
| 5 | Automake is a Perl script. The input files are called Makefile.am.
|
|---|
| 6 | The output files are called Makefile.in; they are intended for use
|
|---|
| 7 | with Autoconf. Automake requires certain things to be done in your
|
|---|
| 8 | configure.ac.
|
|---|
| 9 |
|
|---|
| 10 | Variable assignment lines in Makefile.am pull in defaults from various
|
|---|
| 11 | little *.am files.
|
|---|
| 12 |
|
|---|
| 13 | To use Automake, replace your Makefile.in files with Makefile.am
|
|---|
| 14 | files. Read the documentation to see what to do.
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | This package also includes the "aclocal" program. aclocal is a
|
|---|
| 17 | program to generate an `aclocal.m4' based on the contents of
|
|---|
| 18 | `configure.ac'. It is useful as an extensible, maintainable mechanism
|
|---|
| 19 | for augmenting autoconf. It is intended that other package authors
|
|---|
| 20 | will write m4 macros which can be automatically used by aclocal.
|
