They will allow you to make your software build on most +platforms with most compilers. @command{automake} makes writing complex +<TT>`Makefile'</TT> files very easy, by expressing how to build your packages +in terms of what files are required to build a project and the installation +locations of the files. It imposes a few limitations over using plain +<TT>`Makefile'</TT> files, such as in the use of conditionals, but these problems +are vastly outweighed by the benefits it brings. It also creates many extra +targets in the generated <TT>`Makefile.in'</TT> files such as @command{dist}, +@command{distcheck}, @command{clean}, @command{distclean}, +@command{maintainer-clean} and @command{tags}, and there are many more more +available.

Please note that this example also requires the +macro <CODE>AC_PROG_MAKE_SET</CODE> to be used in <TT>`configure.in'</TT> and the use of +<CODE>AC_SUBST</CODE> to substitute @env{CFLAGS} and @env{INCLUDES} where +<CODE>@CFLAGS@</CODE> and <CODE>@INCLUDES@</CODE> are found in the file, respectively. +<P><HR><P> +Go to the <A HREF="gimpprint_1.html">first</A>, <A HREF="gimpprint_8.html">previous</A>, <A HREF="gimpprint_10.html">next</A>, <A HREF="gimpprint_47.html">last</A> section, <A HREF="gimpprint_toc.html">table of contents</A>. +</BODY> +</HTML> |
