- Autoconf is an extensible package of m4 macros that creates a
- non-interactive configuration script for a package from a template
- file. The template file lists the operating system features that the
- package can use, in the form of m4 macro calls, and can also contain
- arbitrary shell commands. Autoconf requires GNU m4.
-
- Autoconf-generated configure scripts are being used by many GNU
- packages currently, and will be used by more in the future.
-
- Major changes in release 1.1:
- Added AC_STRCOLL macro.
- Made AC_GETLOADAVG check for more things.
- AC_OUTPUT argument is now optional.
- Various bug fixes.
-
- Mail suggestions and bug reports for Autoconf to
- bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu.
