Automake is a tool for automatically generating Makefiles compliant with
|
|
the GNU Coding Standards. It was inspired by the 4.4BSD make and include
|
|
files, but aims to be portable and to conform to the GNU standards for
|
|
Makefile variables and targets. Automake is a Perl script. The input files
|
|
are called Makefile.am. The output files are called Makefile.in; They are
|
|
intended for use with Autoconf. Automake requires certain things to be done
|
|
in your configure.in. This package also includes the "aclocal"
|
|
program. aclocal is a program to generate an 'aclocal.m4' based on the
|
|
contents of 'configure.in'. It is useful as an extensible, maintainable
|
|
mechanism for augmenting autoconf.
|
|
|
|
This port is specifically designed for developers that want to create
|
|
cross-platform software distributions on FreeBSD. This version of automake
|
|
should _NEVER_ be used with the FreeBSD ports system as a replacement for the
|
|
versioned copies of automake.
