Autoconf

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. GNU Autoconf is a tool for producing configure scripts for C, C++, Fortran 77, Fortran, Erlang, Objective C software on Unix-like computer systems. Configure scripts inspect a user's computer system and configure the software package prior to it being installed. After running a series of automated tests, a configure script generates customised header files and a makefile from pre-written templates. These customised files adapt the software and its installation process to suit the user's system. Together with Automake and Libtool, Autoconf forms the GNU build system. It comprises several other tools, notably Autoheader.
