GNU Build Tools
The GNOME project is using a number of standard GNU tools for building
on multiple architectures.
libtool
A set of shell scripts to automatically configure UNIX
architectures to build shared libraries in generic fashion. If
everything is working, you won't even know it's there.
* Read the libtool info page (it ships with most GNU/Linux
distributions).
* If the GNOME help browser works, load "info:libtool."
autoconf
Autoconf creates portable and configurable packages. If you've
ever run a configure script, you've seen what autoconf can do.
* Read the autoconf info page (again, it ships with most
GNU/Linux distributions).
* If the GNOME help browser works, load "info:autoconf."
* Read an overview of the GNU build system.
* Check out this autoconf tutorial.
* Read this tutorial on checking a library into CVS. It
covers autoconf and CVS basics, and is key for
understanding how the GNOME build system is meant to
work.
automake
Automake is a Makefile generator. It normally works with
autoconf to automatically produce Makefiles based upon what
configure determined about a system.
* Read the automake info page.
* Load "info:automake" in the GNOME help browser.
