Automake is a very useful tool for doing this. Nothing in the GPL license that covers it forces you to GPL any of your code (read: "mere aggregation"). Automake allows you to create a full Makefile that is compliant with GNU coding standards by almost just specifying the source files only. I'd prefer not to use any IDE's, but you can have a look at Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org/) if you insist. Emacs still does it all for me. ;) -- Rafael R.
