GNU Autotoolsmagic

This repository contains reusable macros and auxiliary files for GNU Autotools. It is intended as a simpler alternative to the GNU Autoconf Archive and the GNU Portability Library.

Usage

Similar to the aforementioned projects, copy the files you wish to use (preserving directory structure) and add the following macro calls to configure.ac:

AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([build-aux])
AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS([m4])

The following environment variable should also be added to the top-level Makefile.am to add support for aclocal macros in Automake:

ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4

Some macros may have additional requirements; see comments in the macro definition for more details.
