2.4 Pointers
Developers who are used to the simplicity of make for small
projects on a single system might be daunted at the prospect of
learning to use Automake and Autoconf. As your software is
distributed to more and more users, however, you otherwise
quickly find yourself putting lots of effort into reinventing the
services that the GNU build tools provide, and making the
same mistakes that they once made and overcame. (Besides, since
you're already learning Autoconf, Automake is a piece of cake.)
There are a number of places that you can go to for more information on the GNU build tools.
- - Web
The project home pages for Autoconf, Automake, Gnulib, and Libtool.
- - Automake Manual
See (automake)Top section `Automake' in GNU Automake, for more information on Automake.
- - Books
The book GNU Autoconf, Automake and Libtool(1) describes the complete GNU build environment. You can also find the entire book on-line.
