Hi,
I'm creating a new project and using autotools. I've done this before,

I don't know anything about what you guys are talking about, but, i know

I understand that m4 is used. Is m4 the only tool that is run on the

I'm not interested in having it installed unless the package is

same as CGDB's installed dir --prefix=).
