The GNU Autotools make it easy for developers to create software that is portable across many Unix-like operating systems. Although the Autotools are used by thousands of open source software packages, they have a notoriously steep learning curve. And good luck to the beginner who wants to find anything beyond a basic reference work online.You'll learn how to:- Master the Autotools build system to maximize your software's portability;- Generate Autoconf configuration scripts to simplify the compilation process; - Produce portable makefiles with Automake;- Build cross-platform software libraries with Libtool;- Write your own Autoconf macros.Autotools focuses on two projects: Jupiter, a simple 'Hello, world!' program, and FLAIM, an existing, complex open source effort containing four separate but interdependent subprojects. Follow along as the author takes Jupiter's build system from a basic makefile to a full-fledged Autotools project, and then as he converts the FLAIM projects from complex hand-coded makefiles to the powerful and flexible GNU build system.
