Configure/Autoconf

A Unix tool for assisting with portability of open source systems.

Uses a generic configure command to

  • interrogate the local system and determine configuration settings
  • read simple templates for Makefile and/or config.h
  • generate customised Makefile and/or config.h
Once system is configured, simply run make to build it

Configure shell script is distributed with the source code.
