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 rely also on:
- grep
- ls
- sed
- awk.
Version
- 1.0 (1992)
- 2.0
