autoconf | Produces shell scripts that automatically configure software
source code packages to adapt to many kinds of Unix-like systems.
The configuration scripts it produces are independent—running
them does not require the autoconf program. |
autoheader | A tool for creating template files of C
#define statements for configure to use |
autom4te | A wrapper for the M4 macro processor |
autoreconf | Automatically runs autoconf,
autoheader, aclocal,
automake, gettextize, and
libtoolize in the correct order to save time
when changes are made to autoconf and
automake template files |
autoscan | Helps to create a configure.in file for a
software package; it examines the source files in a directory tree,
searching them for common portability issues, and creates a
configure.scan file that serves as as a
preliminary configure.in file for the package |
autoupdate | Modifies a configure.in file that still
calls autoconf macros by their old names to use the
current macro names |
ifnames | Helps when writing configure.in files
for a software package; it prints the identifiers that the package
uses in C preprocessor conditionals. If a package has already been set
up to have some portability, this program can help determine what
configure needs to check for. It can also fill in
gaps in a configure.in file generated by
autoscan |
