Abstract

This article presents several simple Automake/Autoconf-based projects. I assume that you know what Automake, Autoconf, and configure are, and that you know how to install a software package from sources (i.e., you know how to invoke "configure & make & make install"). (If you don’t, you can still follow the instructions to create a very small project to play around with.) This article does not contain lengthy explanations or detailed background information. Rather, I present a few examples that (hopefully) get the ideas across.

Some of the topics for which examples are presented:

  • Doxygen support
  • Multiple subdirectories
  • Flex/Bison support
  • Libtool Convenience libraries
  • KDevelop Automake Manager

In the article Python Extensions In C++ Using SWIG, I describe how to extend Python with C++ code. That article also contains instructions for building SWIG extension DLLs on Windows. This article contains instructions for using GNU Automake and Autoconf to build SWIG extensions as shared objects on GNU/Linux.
