oh, sure, i know it's not current, but it gave me a perfect simple example to step forward from. already i've taken that and expanded it to work for a different project with a subdirectory and multiple binaries. a few more bad-weather days and i should be able to tar.gz and release a version of it without the existing more complicated build environment that it had wrapped around it before. a much nicer way forwards if i ever want to build a Debian package. i'm using fairly current versions of the tools and have the info pages installed and am using those too as i go along. however, i wanted a tutorial with a bit more overview and one that integrated the tools together. > I would recommend you to take a look at the following > resources in the future: > > Autotools tutorial by Alexandre Duret-Lutz: > > http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~adl/autotools.html > > Another reference by Diego Elio “Flameeyes” Pettenò: > > http://www.flameeyes.eu/autotools-mythbuster/ > > The first articles of John Calcote which later got published in a book > by OReilly: > > http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/books/autotools_a_guide_to_autoconf_automake_libtool > > Now that I think about it, you will get faster and better answers in the > automake mailing list. thanks, i'll take a look at them, and see if i can find the automake mailing list. > Regards, songbird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
