Configure/Autoconf (cont)

Creating a configure.in file ...
  • requires developer to enter details about code
  • much of this can be auto-extracted from code
Hence, the autoscan command ...
  • extract config information from source code
  • produce a "first draft" configure.in file
  • developer manually completes configure.in
