GNU autoconf is a set of M4 macros and various shell scripts which allow a developer to generate configure scripts.

Autoconf is a tool for producing shell scripts that automatically configure software source code packages to adapt to many kinds of Posix-like systems. The configuration scripts produced by Autoconf are independent of Autoconf when they are run, so their users do not need to have Autoconf.

Requirements

Autoconf requires additional tools:

  • Bourne Shell
  • M4 (GNU M4 version 1.4.6 or later required, 1.4.14 or later recommended)
  • Perl interpreter.

The generated configuration scripts and makefiles also rely on:

  • grep
  • ls
  • sed
  • awk.

Version

  • 1.0 (1992)
  • 2.0
  • 2.12 patch level 5
  • 2.13 (1999-01-15)
  • 2.69 (2012)
