| Summary: A GNU tool for automatically configuring source code. | |
GNU's Autoconf is a tool for configuring source code and Makefiles. Using Autoconf, programmers can create portable and configurable packages, since the person building the package is allowed to specify various configuration options. You should install Autoconf if you are developing software and you'd like to use it to create shell scripts which will configure your source code packages. If you are installing Autoconf, you will also need to install the GNU m4 package. Note that the Autoconf package is not required for the end user who may be configuring software with an Autoconf-generated script; Autoconf is only required for the generation of the scripts, not their use. -- PLEASE NOTICE ---> this version is meant to coexist with autoconf-2.5x; to that end, the various binaries are actually linked to a script which decides which version to execute. It tries to be clever and will execute 2.5x if `configure.ac' is present, or if `configure.in' contains AC_PREREQ and the value's 3 first letters are stringwise greater than '2.1'. If anything fails, you can manually select 2.13 by providing the environment variable WANT_AUTOCONF_2_1 set to `1' (use WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5 if you want the 2.5x version).

versions of autoconf coexisting) in a readme file

- update the `ac-wrapper.pl' script which detects which version of
autoconf will be automatically selected, adding two cases for
selecting the 2.5x version:
- `configure' is already present and was generated by autoconf
greater than '2.1'
- `Makefile.in' was generated by automake-1.6 or superior (which
specifically needs autoconf-2.5x)
