******************************************************************* PRESENTATION Don't Fear the Autotools! by Scott Garman <[email protected]> Autoconf. Automake. Libtool. This trio of build configuration utilities (known as the Autotools) are used in a large majority of compiled software applications for Linux, but they remain a mystery to many of us. In this gentle introduction to the Autotools, Scott Garman will help lift the veil of uncertainty most people have about them. You'll also learn about the Gnu Coding Standards and the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, two specifications which explain a lot of the "why" behind the Autotools (yes, there is a method to this madness!). Finally, Scott will offer some practical tips for understanding and fixing errors you may see when building an Autotools-based package. It's sure to be a fun romp for the whole family. ******************************************************************* Agenda: 7:00 - 7:30 Business We will discuss the status of our ongoing projects including PLUG's monthly Advanced Topics meetings, PLUG's monthly hands on clinics, PLUG for Education, etc. 7:30 - 8:30 Presentation See above 9:00 - ...
