Autoconf/automake

SDL Development
1

I remember some time ago there was a sort of pragmatic autoconf/automake
tutorial from Sam at ibm.com, as part of the description of Pirates Ho!
But now the tutorial is no more there. Is it possible to retrieve from some
archive, or is there a better tutorial around?

Thank in advance
Amedeo

I learned from the goat book.

You can buy the book:

I never found autoconf the way I liked so I managed to make my own. This
is not a tutorial, but you might get inspirations from these files:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/glelite/Teddy/src/Makefile.in?rev=1.6&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/glelite/Teddy/src/configure.in?rev=1.1&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/glelite/Teddy/src/acinclude.m4?rev=1.1&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

Rest in glelite.sf.net

It doesn’t use automake (only for SDL test) and it scans sub-directories
for files, works out dependencies itself, and does proper configure for
SDL OpenGL program.
