Autoconf Reference Manual: Creating Automatic Configuration Scripts - Paperback

by Ben Elliston (Author), Akim Demaille (Author), David MacKenzie (Author)

Autoconf is a tool for producing shell scripts that automatically configure software source code packages to adapt to many kinds of Posix-like systems. The configuration scripts produced by Autoconf are independent of Autoconf when they are run, so their users do not need to have Autoconf.
