About m4

m4 is a macro processor that is part of the POSIX standard. It is commonly used as a dependency for building other software, particularly:

  • GNU Autotools (autoconf, automake)
  • GNU Bison
  • Various build systems and code generators

This build provides a portable, static version of m4 that can be used on systems where m4 is not available or where a specific version is required.
