GNU Software Development

The GNU Build System

• Autoconf simplifies portable software development, and, while there is a learning curve, it's well worth it.

• Ian Lance Taylor's GNU Configuration and Build System guide.
• A tutorial, Learning the GNU development Tools.
• Learning Autoconf and Automake
• Using Automake and Autoconf with C++
• The GNU Autoconf Macro Archive
